The visible, smaller part of this amphitheatre was discovered and excavated in the early XX. century by the archaeologist Cosimo De Giorgi, while the larger part is obviously still buried under the buildings around the Piazza Sant'Oronzo. Although the upper structure is not preserved, we were impressed by the size of it. It has been estimated that its capacity was 25000 seats. The ancient Lupiae, the predecessor of Lecce must have been a very important settlement!

Built in 1688, the mill was unearthed in 2008 thanks to an important restoration. Now it is possible to visit it entirely. During the visit a guide will show you the different stage of olive oil production.
