Lecce: the baroque city - 1/3
(Lecce (LE) - Puglia)

Three pages of our specials are certainly not enough to depict all the treasures of this town.
Lying almost in the center of the Salento peninsula, with Messapian origin lost in the mists of time, it shines for the richness and exuberance of the Baroque of its churches and palaces, built mainly with the 'Lecce stone', an easy-to-work local limestone.

A city to visit and to enjoy.

The Lecce Baroque:
its flourishing began in the second half of the 1500s when the battle of Lepanto significantly reduced the danger of the Ottoman incursions, which had devastated this territory for years.
Lecce has fascinating and unique characteristics marked by rich and exuberant decorations.
These decorations and especially the facades built during the Kingdom of Naples characterize the city in an unique way, giving rise to the so called 'Lecce Baroque'.
