Lecce

Lecce, Baroque city par excellence, so much so that it has earned itself the name of Baroque Lecce, can be experienced on foot, looking up at the sky, to make sure you see all the spires, the bright decorations on the buildings and the warm, golden colours of the Lecce stones.

Don’t miss the historic centre of Lecce, which you can get to via three enchanting gates, the Roman amphitheatre, the Cathedral Square, the Cathedral of Santa Maria Assunta and the Castle of Charles V. A triumph of friezes, the Baroque Basilica of Santa Croce in real Lecce stone.
