The Walls of Lucca

One of my daughters, Jamie, told Holly that she had not seen enough pictures of the walls of Lucca to really understand what they looked like.  So being the great dad that I am, here is my best attempt to give you all a feel for them.

One thing to understand is that the total circumference of the wall is about 2 1/2 miles so without hovering over the city in a helicopter, you just can’t get a picture of the whole thing.  To help with that I have included a map.

Not the walls but a sunset taken from our apartment.  I couldn’t resist

The map showing the whole thing including the bastions and the green space outside of the wall.  The red circle is where our apartment is located.
