Thanks, Joel. It was an amphitheater in Roman times

The *amphitheatre*, built as the centre of entertainment outside the Roman
town, is today the centre of town life and the very symbol of
*Lucca<http://www.italyguides.it/us/italy/tuscany/lucca/lucca.htm>
*. It is a unique elliptical-shaped plaza, theatre of the life of the
citizens of Lucca, closed in an embrace of medieval houses and, in spite of
the passing of the millennia, is always alive and witness to innumerable
changes.
We enjoyed a good meal there and watching the people.
