The square
Lucca’s Roman amphitheatre dates from the 1st–2nd century AD and held about ten thousand spectators. Its remains lie about three metres below the square.
In the Middle Ages it was called the “parlascio”, which gives us our name. Houses were built on the arches, and from 1830 architect Lorenzo Nottolini cleared the centre, giving the square its elliptical shape.
