LE MURA DI LUCCA - infopoint

 

In the second century BC, the Romans founded the city of Lucca and surrounded it with a circle of walls, about 9 meters high and hinged at the corners by round towers. Four gates protected by proud lions were the exit of the cardo and decumanus maximus, which arose from the city forum, to head from the city towards the four cardinal points.

For accessories, fibulas and bracelets with an ancient history. But where?
