Piazza dell'Anfiteatro Tours
1 Review

The Piazza dell'Anfiteatro is a large square in the center of historic Lucca. As the name suggests, it was once the site of a Roman amphitheatre, one that was built in the first century and could hold up to 10,000 people. The remains of that structure now lie more than nine feet underground, but the oval shape of the piazza is a direct result of the outline of the amphitheatre.
The Piazza dell'Anfiteatro was built in 1830 by demolishing some buildings that had been constructed in the space. It became the site of the town's market, and is the heart of the old city today.
Practical Info
Piazza dell'Anfiteatro in the northeast area of the historic walled city of Lucca. Some elements of the ancient amphitheatre are still visible in the area, including along Via dell'Anfiteatro.

Lucca and organic farm - very easy bike tour
The tour starts on the historical walls, a pedestrian circular park of 4 km all around Lucca, a kind of terrace over the town. After a passage in front of the main attractions od the city centre, we go to the Serchio river park, characterized by two white gravel roads following the water, where we can ride our bike, far from the urban noise. From here you can admire the typical Tuscan countryside, made of hills and narrow roads sorrounded by seasonal flowers and fruits and olive grooves.
The organic farm is very close to the river and we will be soon looking at its vineyard and green garden. The farmer (one of the real last farmer) will introduce us to his land and to his wife, the friendly and impetuous lady who will prepare our lunch with their homegrown fresh food harvested from the earth. The shy farmer Paolo will invite all us to taste his organic oil, red and white wine coupled with the foods. After this real experience we come back to Lucca in about 25 minutes
