Stroll through one of the many archways into Lucca’s Roman Amphitheatre and you’ll notice bright yellow buildings arranged in an elliptical shape, a significant focal point in a unique destination town. Try to imagine the armed gladiators fighting beasts to the death for the entertainment of a roaring crowd. Up to 10,000 spectators once sat in the stands here. Originally an arena for gladiatorial blood sports, the structure became a fortified military base, a warehouse, a prison and eventually, a bustling city square. See the ancient remains of the Roman Amphitheatre as something of a skeleton that’s been incorporated into the contemporary architecture. Glimpse the original walls themselves by walking the outside perimeter on the Via dell’Anfiteatro. Today most of the original foundations are several feet underground. Inside the walls is the staggered silhouette of the pastel buildings, crowded together and towering above you in their signature elliptical shape, with the recognizable archways near the bottom. The Roman Amphitheatre is easy to reach on foot and a location that will help you really appreciate Lucca’s rich historical tapestry. The city makes good use of this venue, putting on outdoor events such as music festivals in the warmer months. It’s also a good spot for shopping, with regular outdoor markets and gift stores selling typical Tuscan wares. Something is usually happening here, no matter what day it is. The façades of the buildings themselves are quite lovely to look at on any day. When you’re hungry, choose from a variety of cafés and restaurants in the piazza, ideal spots for people watching and soaking up the magic of this atmospheric city. Lucca’s Roman Amphitheater is a popular stop on the Lucca tourist trail. If you’re trying to avoid crowds, plan to visit in the early morning or the evening. From here, take a short walk to other Lucca icons such as the San Frediano Basilica and the Church of San Pietro Somaldi. ## Plan a trip to see Lucca Roman Amphitheatre Price found within the past 48 hours.

(1,002 reviews) 9 day stay. The property hit my must-haves! Central location, clean, affordable, and safe. 5/5 in all these areas! There is nothing they can do about dirty streets but the filth did not cross the threshold. T2 tram from the airport is 2 blocks away. The central market is 2 blocks in the other direction. Key card swipe after dark. 24 hour desk service. Breakfast on the 5th floor with views. Very courteous staff. The only complaint is breakfast tables are cleared very quickly while I went for a americano refill. Will definitely return here.

(1,000 reviews) This is not a typical hotel where there is a lobby or staff to greet you . Instead it is a set of apartments in a corner building . The person who let us in was awaiting for us at the door at check in. Breakfast was serve in a buffet style . Staff would ask if you would order something else if you like. Continental breakfast is available .Overall it was comfortable and easy to find . Shops and restaurants are all walking distance.
