Lucca is the birthplace of Craig&#8217;s grandfather. Lucca has an ancient wall, (completed in the 13th century) that surrounds it&#8217;s historic center, like all cities of it&#8217;s time, but this is one of the best preserved in Europe. &nbsp;In&nbsp;the 1800&#8217;s, the top of the wall was planted with trees and grass turning it into a huge park, it is a pleasant place to walk or ride a bike and it is&nbsp;the only wall in Europe where a car can drive all the way around the top of it. Lucca was founded by the Etruscans and became a Roman colony in 180 BC.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>#ITLU1b-0416<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Lucca, Italy After a long,\u2026<\/p>\n<p class=\"continue-reading-button\"> <a class=\"continue-reading-link\" href=\"https:\/\/thrumyeyes.com\/index.php\/2017\/03\/20\/the-wall-of-lucca\/\">Continue reading<i class=\"crycon-right-dir\"><\/i><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":3405,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"image","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[13,352],"tags":[146,61,138,167,168,105,353],"class_list":["post-778","post","type-post","status-publish","format-image","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-italy-thrumyeyes","category-lucca-thru-my-eyes","tag-canal","tag-green","tag-river","tag-stream","tag-tree","tag-trees","tag-wall","post_format-post-format-image"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/thrumyeyes.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/778","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/thrumyeyes.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/thrumyeyes.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thrumyeyes.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thrumyeyes.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=778"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/thrumyeyes.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/778\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":5597,"href":"https:\/\/thrumyeyes.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/778\/revisions\/5597"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thrumyeyes.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/3405"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/thrumyeyes.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=778"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thrumyeyes.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=778"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thrumyeyes.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=778"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
