Visit the Museum of the Ancient Mint of Lucca and discover a unique place where the city's history is told through coins, medals, symbols and ancient minting techniques. Housed in the evocative Casermetta San Donato, on the famous City Walls, the museum preserves a tradition that spans more than thirteen centuries and allows you to get to know Lucca from an original and fascinating perspective.

During your visit, you will enter the world of Lucchese coinage, a history of trade, power, craftsmanship, art, and identity. Coins are not just metal objects: they are small testimonies of different eras, capable of telling the storey of the city's economic and cultural role, its commercial relations, its political transformations, and the work of the master coin-makers.

The museum route will take you through numismatic specimens, commemorative medals, documents, and materials related to the activity of the Antica Zecca. You'll be able to closely examine details, engravings, coats of arms and images that encapsulate centuries of history, discovering how each coin was also a message, a sign of authority and a small work of art destined to circulate from hand to hand.

The included audio guide will make the experience even more complete, helping you follow the route with clear explanations and dedicated insights. You can visit the museum at your leisure, letting yourself be guided through curiosities, historical stories, and often little-known details of Lucca's numismatic tradition.

The location of the museum adds even more charm to the experience. The Walls of Lucca are one of the city's most beloved spots, perfect for a walk before or after your visit. Entering the Casermetta San Donato therefore means combining cultural discovery with the pleasure of experiencing one of the most iconic spaces in the historic old town.

This experience is ideal for history enthusiasts, families, the curious, collectors, cultural travellers, and those who want to go beyond the most classic routes in Lucca. The Museo dell'Antica Zecca will let you discover a city told through its coins: small objects, great stories, and a tradition that continues to leave its mark.
