We will start our tour by reaching the majestic Basilica of Santa Croce, a masterpiece of Lecce Baroque. Its facades sculpted in local stone are an extraordinary example of craftsmanship. The Basilica of Santa Croce is the most significant example of Lecce Baroque.
We will continue to the Cathedral Square, where you can admire the Lecce Cathedral, another jewel of the local Baroque. Its intricate facade and bell tower are must-see attractions. You will discover the history of this cathedral and its central role in the city’s life.
A visit to the ancient Roman Amphitheater, a testament to the millennia-old history of Lecce, is also included.
During the tour, we will stop at a typical local venue where you can delight your palate with some of the specialties of Puglia. Among the delicacies offered, we recommend trying:
Pasticciotto Leccese, a traditional dessert made of shortcrust pastry and custard, a true delight for the senses; Taralli, crispy snacks similar to breadsticks, often flavored with olive oil and black pepper; Pittule, small fried calzones filled with olives, tomatoes, and cheese.
