Its importance as a Roman city cannot be avoided, for there are remains all over the city and its nearby areas proving it. In the Middle Ages, Lucca was one of the most important cities in Italy, until the fall of its republic. In the 19th century, this astonishing city was part of the Napoleonic Empire, being established the Principality of Lucca.
