Porta a Lucca

The stone gate stands as a prominent entrance point in the northern section of Pisa's defensive walls, featuring robust architectural elements from medieval construction methods.

Built during the expansion of Pisa's fortifications, this gate controlled access to the northern trade route connecting Pisa with the city of Lucca through centuries of commerce.

The gate represents the strategic relationship between Pisa and Lucca, marking a significant point along the historical trading path between these two Tuscan centers.

Visitors can reach the gate by following the ancient city walls northward from the Field of Miracles, with several public transportation stops located nearby.

The gate's position near the Terme di Nerone thermal ruins creates an intersection of Roman and medieval architectural periods in Pisa's urban landscape.
