Basilica di Santa Croce, Piazza Sant’Oronzo and Piazza del Duomo are three fundamental visits amidst the city’s Baroque wonders that cannot fail to evoke admiration and enchantment.
The heart of this Salento city, also known as the “Lady of the Baroque”, features superb, richly-decorated churches and buildings, contributing to an authentic, unique architectural style, Lecce Baroque.
The style takes form in the complex, imaginative decoration of the façades of churches and buildings, and it is also hallmarked by the use of Lecce stone in both architecture and sculpture.
