Porta Sant'Anna

The double-arched entrance features two central passages for vehicles and separate paths on each side for pedestrians through the city walls.

The gate was constructed in 1910 to accommodate the increasing motorized traffic entering the western section of Lucca's historical center.

The marble urban emblem positioned between the central vehicle passages represents the architectural identity of twentieth-century Lucca.

The gate connects Via Vittorio Emanuele to Via Sarzanese, providing direct access to the Sant'Anna district outside the medieval walls.

From 1911 to 1938, the Lucca-Ponte San Pietro-Maggiano tram line passed through this gate, serving the surrounding neighborhood.
