Wiki Loves Monuments 2021

Search, shoot, upload, win... and give value to beauty!
In September appointment with Wiki Loves Monuments to immortalize in memorable shots the monuments of Lucca.

The city walls, Piazza Anfiteatro, Torre Guinigi and Torre delle Ore, the Botanical Garden, the Nottolini aqueduct... these are the pearls of the city most photographed by #locals & #tourists. Great classics which, with each shot, are transformed into suggestive and panoramic views, new and unusual perspectives.

The day is Ferragosto (midsummer day) and the plateau is the Altopiano delle Pizzorne. A great summer classic trip in the Piana di Lucca, a popular destination for tourists and locals on hot Sundays in July and August and, for the most affectionate, an unmissable appointment on the high day of summer.

A walk among the fountains in the olt town.
A relaxing stroll among monuments and fountains. 


In the history of Lucca, that of water is a story in reverse. While other cities were born on the banks of rivers, the people of Lucca kept well away from them.

The foundation of the city, in Roman times, was challenging in the middle of a plain where water was the master, with streams and marshes. The name of the town itself derives from the Ligurian word Luk, meaning a place where light is reflected.

The long summer sunsets are always full of surprises. The warm colours, the thousands of shades of orange that blend with palettes of intense blues and draw the unmistakable silhouette of the city roofs, the leaves against the sun, the sea horizon, the mountain ridges.

The colors of summer in Lucca: strong and intense as the season, they change with the landscape and accompany days of relax and meditation.

From the historic center to the hills of Monte Pisano and the Pizzorne Plateau, the intense colors and rich flavors of summer alternate.

Enjoy!

An invitation to Lucca

 

Free guided tours (in Italian language) throughout the summer.
Last school days, first vacation days. Here are some ideas to “get in touch” with the summer holidays, an invitation to visit the city together, guests and local tourists to share a different view in a holiday mood on everyday landscapes.

The Pilgrimage festival

 

More and more walking has been rediscovered this summer 2021. Physical activity, but without any competition, with calm and time to relax strolling through the landscape, getting to know people, tasting local products, discovering the history and its characters and simply feeling good.

 

Walk on...
