City Walls

Start a walking tour of the city from this triumphal gateway, one of the main entrances to Lecce’s historic quarter.

Gaze in appreciation at the Baroque façade and Renaissance interior of this church, which is a labor of love that took over 300 years to complete.

Elaborate altarpieces and ornamental sculptures are among the showstoppers in a church based on Rome’s Basilica di Sant’Andrea della Valle.

A combination of Roman ruins and Baroque, Gothic and Renaissance landmarks create an impressive architectural landscape at this old town square.

Transport back to the days of the Roman Empire at this sunken and well-preserved ancient structure on Piazza Sant’Oronzo.

The Cathedral of Lecce, lavish palaces and a museum of sacred art await at this magnificent square in the heart of the old town.
