Torre del Oro Review

The tower is the tallest tower in Lucca, which was acquired by the government in the 14th century and decided to house a clock in 1390. Visitors to Lucca visit the nearby Torre Guinigi. The current clock mechanism dates back to the 18th century.

The clock tower is a famous landmark building in Lucca. It is worth your walk. I haven't come out to play for a long time. This time I have a rare opportunity. Of course, I have to feel the place I have been yearning for. The ticket is four euros per person. You can also buy a joint ticket with another tower. About a few minutes to the roof, overlooking the panoramic view of Lucca, the stairs are very narrow. Can't go up at 7 o'clock in the evening.

I also climbed the tower to overlook the city, and there was snow on the mountains in the distance. An event was held in the church of San Giovanni to commemorate Puccini, the great opera musician who was born in Lucca.

Although many churches in Lucca have high towers, the best place to overlook the city is still the clock tower in the center of the city. This 13th-century tower has 207 steps, which was repeatedly competed by Lucca's families in the Middle Ages. I had to pay 4 oden towers and I didn't go up.

The tallest building in Lucca's old city can be climbed to the top, but it is still very physical to climb up a little bit along the narrow stairs. It is very physical to drive until 6 o'clock in the evening. After going up, the scenery is great.
