It is a notable city of art in Italy. The monumental historic center of the city has remained almost intact in its original appearance, thus being able to include various valuable architectures, such as the numerous medieval churches of considerable architectural wealth (Lucca has even been nicknamed the "city of 100 churches", due to the presence of numerous churches in its historic core, consecrated and not, present in the past and now in the city), towers and bell towers, and monumental Renaissance palaces of valuable stylistic linearity. The city also boasts suggestive urban spaces: the most famous is certainly that of Piazza dell'Anfiteatro, born on the ruins of the ancient Roman amphitheater by the architect Lorenzo Nottolini and unique of its architectural kind. The main artery of the historic city is the narrow and medieval via Fillungo, which brings together the major businesses of the city. Other suggestive squares are Piazza San Michele, the historic center of the city and Piazza San Martino, the religious center where the famous Cathedral of San Martino stands. Piazza Napoleone (also called Piazza Grande by the Lucchesi), was commissioned by Elisa Baciocchi during her Principality, demolishing ancient medieval buildings including a church. Adjacent is Piazza del Giglio where the homonymous theater overlooks, (Teatro del Giglio), which is to be counted as a traditional theater. Precisely because of this immense historical-monumental wealth, the proposal has recently been made to include the Walls of Lucca in the UNESCO World Heritage List. *** SERVICES *** Among the main art cities of Tuscany, the provincial capital, the city of Lucca offers the most varied services (from catering, to transport, to events), ranking among the cities livable at all times of the year.
