The volume is structured in a number of short walks that begin from the walls and enter the centre of the city to discover sites, buildings, monuments and known or less known corners of Lucca. We have dedicated sections that succeed from the Baluardo Santa Maria, Porta San Pietro, Balurdo San Colombano, Baluardo San Regolo, Baluardo La Libertà, Porta Elisa, Baluardo San Salvatore, Baluardo San Pietro, Baluardo San Martino, Porta Santa Maria, Baluardo San Frediano, Baluardo Santa Croce, Porta San Donato, Baluardo San Donato, Porta Vittorio Emanuele, Baluardo   San Paolino. Every section contains historical notes and oddities of the different areas and a rich photo gallery for every course, on the walls and in Lucca. From this intensive portrait, a realistic image of the town, that measures it's personality in the modest forms, that reflect centuries of history in it's palaces, streets and squares with it's colour harmony of the lights, always different in each hour and every season, reflected by the mutable sky that interacts in it's beauty.

In the appendix, there is a   bilingual (like all the texts) glossary, with the terms that explain the military past of the walls.
