Km1 SP290Informazioni sulla città/località
Piazza Sant’Oronzo : You are in the heart of
Lecce, one of the most elegant
parts of the city, where different
architectural styles live together
in perfect harmony. From the
Roman Amphitheatre, to the Column of St.
Oronzo, brought here in honour
of the saint and was first marked
the end of the via Appia in
Brindisi. The Sedile, which mixes
the Gothic pointed arches with
the renaissance loggia, palaces
of the 1920’s and the Church of
Santa Maria delle Grazie in
the classical style.
Piazza Duomo : You arrive here along Corso Vittorio Emanuele II, walking through
small piazzas and splendid richly decorated palaces. Spectacular by day
and breathtaking by night, thanks to the light effects. At the entrance
of the square there are large balconies with statues of Saints above.
In front is the rich entrance to the Duomo Maria SS. Assunta
church, the Vescovado with its grand
balcony, the Palazzo del Seminario, designed by Giuseppe Cino at
the end of 1600’s. In the courtyard there is a well, surmounted by the
St. Irene statue and decorated with branches of acanthus. In the halls
of the Seminario, visit the Museo Diocesano with paintings ranging from the
end of 1400 to the end of 1700 and sculptures, silver and vestments.
The Campanile made by Zimbalo dominates the city at 72 meters.
Historical Museum
of the city of Lecce : At short
distance between piazza S. Oronzo
and the Cathedral, along the
nightlife track, is MUST, the new
3000 sq meters museum complex
inside the former Monastery of
Santa Chiara. Striking interior
spaces, with spectacular views
of the Roman Theatre. Visit
the three sections devoted to
different historical periods, from
Messapi until present day, telling
the history and transformation
of the city. A place for modern
artists to present contemporary
exhibitions.
SANTA CROCE : It’s praised for its Baroque excellence and former Convento dei
Celestini, now home for the government of the Province. You can easily
reach it from Piazza Sant’Oronzo, passing by via dei Templari. Expect
to be speechless for the opulence and richness of detail in the façade:
flowers, fruits, mythological figures, garlands, cornucopias and men
alternating with zoomorphic figures. An impressive masterpiece taking
more than 300 years of construction, three architects, hundreds of
symbols, three doors, a large balcony with 13 cherubs and a rose with
three rings inside. Inside, it’s sober in style, based on a Greek cross
shape .
The Papier Mâché Museum : Around the streets of the city centre, you’ll run into shops with masters
working with papier mâché. The ancient art is kept alive thanks to the renewed tradition and proposals of
contemporary local artists. Water, straw, plaster, glue, wire and sheets of recycled paper are all you need to
create true works of art. To learn more, visit the small Museo della Cartapesta inside the Castello Carlo
V. There are three sections with over 100 works by major artists from Lecce such as Caretta, Capoccia, Guacci,
Errico, Pantaleo, Mazzeo, Indino, Malecore, Gallucci, togheter with some other contemporary and international
artists such as the brazilian Lucia Barata.

ancient Messapic city
An ancient Messapic city surrounded by impressive megalithic walls, which
can be observed in the Parco Archeologico, one of the largest in Italy piazza
Scegnu. Go down to
the Fonte Pliniano, the place where Plinio il Vecchio named in his “Historia
Naturalis” opera. It’s a huge natural cave where the water flows and the level
remains constant, through the principle of communicating vessels. Then take a
stroll downtown, between baroque palaces, liberty and neoclassical, up to the
Chiesa Matrice SS. Trinità, the Madonna del Rosario and the Jewish ghetto
of 1600’s. Finally, visit the museum of wine - Museo della civiltà del Primitivo
- with interesting objects from the 19th – 20th centuries, set in old cisterns
