Lucca is a city and municipality in Tuscany. Its extensive history dates back to the times of the Etruscans and Ancient Romans, and the city still maintains elements of Ancient architecture. Lucca's golden age was during the Gothic period, just before the Renaissance, and the city is home to many stunning pieces of architecture from that time. The existing defensive walls of Lucca were designed by Leonardo Da Vinci and have never been breached. Lucca remained a sovereign city-state until the late 18th century. The church of San Frediano is the only example of Lombard architecture that has been preserved without significant changes, except for the façade, which dates back to the year 1200. S. Maria foris Portam, S. Michele, S. Romano, and the other churches all house valuable works of art. The tomb of the Lucchese poet, Guidiccioni, is located in the church of S. Francesco (quattrocento). The Case Guinigi and the Guinigi Tower are wonderful examples of Medieval architecture in Lucca. The Case Guinigi were a collection of mansions and towers where one of the city's most influential families, the Guinigi, resided. The vast and well-preserved villas and gardens in the hills of Lucca have become a major attraction for visitors to the city.
