San Donato Gate, Lucca

Highlight • Monument

It rises on the northwest tilt of the walls between the strongholds of San Donato and Santa Croce. It is one of the best preserved of the city gates of Lucca. The outer facade is supported by the central body surmounted by a large triangular tympanum with rectangular divided by moldings and marble borders. It has a single arch flanked by two pedestrian doors (called fianchette) of which the right one is fake. On the base of the facade are the statues of San Donato and San Paolino. The central marble cartouche with the motto 'Libertas' has been lost; the inner facade is very simple with high windows encompassing the interior and the upper loggia on pillars under which the wall patrol road runs. portcullis, the small guardhouse flanked by two loopholed rooms used as positions for the gunners. In the main guard house there are two more images of devotee: a frescoed Madonna on the hood of the invisible path and a holy face in stucco on the hidden door of the militia.

Lucca City Walls

Highlight • Monument

Lucca's city wall has enclosed the old city center since 180 BC. The current wall, built between 1504 and 1645, served as a defense against attacks from nearby Florence. The only use of the wall as a defense line was against the waters of the River Serchio on November 18, 1812. As one of the best-preserved examples of a 16th-century European fortification, the wall remains an impressive symbol of Lucca's rich history.
