Looking to soak up lots of fascinating culture on your next vacation to Tuscany? Then come to the province of Lucca in the north west of the region. There is an abundance of castle remains and fortressed towns here that tell a magnificent tale of Lucca’s turbulent past of territorial feuds and invasions.

Stay in a luxury villa in Lucca province where you can lie back in the sunshine beside a pool after a few days of touring this scenic countryside, visiting welcoming cities and quaint little towns and villages.
For an easier touring experience we have grouped articles about these castle filled areas into four districts of Lucca called Garfagnana, the Mediavalle, the Central Plains and the Versilia coast.
Enjoy a tour around the fortified town of Camaiore in the Versilia area or learn the fascinating history of the castles of Altopascio and Porcari in the Central Plains of Lucca.
