Take a walk to discover the Lecce stone that has carved much of this territory and above all, the wonderful city of Lecce. Passers-by can lose themselves through its alleys, its characteristic courtyards and the details of the magnificent basilicas and baroque churches.
There are many tourist itineraries designed to help you discover the beauty of Salento. The Cathedral, Santa Teresa, Sant’Anna with its conservatorium and the amazing and exclusive “Ficus Magnolia” tree to stand majestically in the garden inside.
Visits in workshops of the art of Cartapesta and Lecce stone. An empirical tour through centuries of history passing through the medieval district of Giravolte to admire the sixteenth century city walls.
From Charles V Castle to the Roman Theatre, passing by Piazza Sant’Oronzo and its Seat (“Sedile”), its column, its Amphitheatre and again: “Le Scalze”, Sant’Irene, San Nicolò and Cataldo, the monumental Cemetery.
Together, history and architecture have credited Lecce as one of the most beautiful cities in the world. At the end of our walk we will admire, sighing, “the baroque postcard”: the Basilica of Santa Croce.
