In the Square it is possible to admire some monuments creating the centre of religious life of the city, the so-called MIRACLES (an expression coined by Gabriele D'Annunzio) for their beauty and originality which synthesize the astonishment and admiration that has captured for centuries, all those who, crossing the walls, embrace its whiteness over the glistening grass. The most important monument is the Leaning Tower, when thinking to Pisa, there is an immediate link to the famous leaning tower.
The monument assumed importance over the centuries thanks to its pronounced slope that made worry and at the same time caught the attention of numerous visitors. Other wonderful monuments that you can find around are the Cathedral, the Baptistery, the Museum and the Monumental Cementary. Your trip will continue to Lucca, it is the famous for its Renaissance-era city walls that have remained intact. Extraordinarily, as the city grew and modernized, the walls that surrounded the old town were maintained. As the walls lost their military importance, the top of the walls became a pedestrian promenade, today one of Lucca's main attractions. The area around the walls is well taken care of, with green grass and trees everywhere along the walls. They have in essence become a park that surrounds the city and blocks out more modern life. Here you can a stroll tasting a gelato or simply a period of rest from sightseeing on one of the many shaded benches that line the main walkway. From here, you can enjoy beautiful views over the town and if you're travelling with children, you'll also find a few playgrounds where they can spend some time playing.
