Lecce is a true center piece of Baroque architecture. The Basilica a excellent example of this style. You really need to stand and study the building with your eyes as you would a piece of art.

One of the most impressive churches we visited during our long trip to Italy. A most impressive church both in the exterior structure and especially in the incredible richness of all the works of art that fill the interior space of this amazing church. Very impressive and highly recommended.

Our visit to this small formet abbey was very pleasant. its about 15 min drive from Lecce. The new displays show what the origional frescos looked like, what happened to them over time and what is being done to preserve them. The ladies at the ticket counter are very nice and helpful.
