About Lecce

Lecce, often referred to as the "Florence of the South," is rich in history and architectural beauty. A visit to the Basilica di Santa Croce is essential. This stunning church showcases intricate baroque architecture and features a beautifully detailed facade. Nearby, you can explore the Piazza del Duomo, which is a serene square surrounded by impressive buildings, including the cathedral and the bishop's palace.

Wandering through the historic center offers a glimpse of Lecce's charming streets, filled with local shops and cafes. The Roman Amphitheater, located in the heart of the city, is a fascinating site that dates back to the 2nd century and provides insight into the city’s ancient past.

For those interested in local culture, a visit to a craft workshop specializing in cartapesta, or papier-mâché, is rewarding. This traditional craft is a significant aspect of Lecce's artistic heritage. Additionally, sampling local cuisine is a must. Dishes like orecchiette pasta and pasticiotti are local specialties that reflect the region's culinary traditions.

The Castello di Carlo V offers a historical perspective, allowing visitors to explore its architecture and the surrounding gardens. If you have time, a short trip to the nearby beaches along the Adriatic or Ionian Sea can provide a relaxing contrast to the city’s historical sites. Engaging with the local atmosphere, especially in the evenings when the streets come alive, allows for a deeper appreciation of Lecce's vibrant culture.
