Picture of Torre Guinigi

-- This carachteristic tower has been added in the 15th century to the house of the most famous family in town, the Guinigis. The entrance is in Via Sant'Andrea, a narrow lane with a lot of old shops (among all two antique shops, one for each side, and a shoemaker), that connects Via Fillungo to Via Guinigi. To reach the top you have to do a lot of steps (they say 230 but I've never count them) and the final part of the stairs (when metal steps starts) could be hard if you suffer of heights, but when you'll get the top, resting under the shadow of big oaks you can admire Lucca from an amazing point of view.
