PLACE TO VISIT
Definitely the first place to visit is the historic heart of Baroque
building where you will marvel by the visual effect of Leccese’s
Stone, the famous golden stone used for the construction of
the ancient town.
The main square is Saint Oronzo Square, dominated by the
famous obelisk of Saint Oronzo: You can also visit the
church of Santa Croce, considered one of most important
Baroque representations of this land and the Roman
amphitheater from II sec. in excellent condition of
conservation.
Near the square is located the Villa Hall with its beautiful
gardens.
For lovers of oriental culture we recommend a visit to the
Chinese Missionary and Natural History Museum, a
collection of ivories, bronzes and furniture from East.
Also worth of a visit is the Provincial Museum titled to
Sigismondo Castromediano, where are kept
archaeological’s relics that cover a wide historical period,
from Bronze Age to the late Roman Empire.
The majestic Cathedral Square, surrounded by numerous
baroque office buildings of the church symbol of the city, the
Cathedral, featuring a bell tower and valuable
a statue of a Saint Oronzo framed by an arch
triumph of considerable value.
Former Celestine Convent, today the Government Palace,
built in 1600, in his charming interior courtyard
century.
The church dedicated to Saints Nicolò and Cataldo, XII
century, with its beautiful Romanesque portal and rose on the
facade.
Testimony of Roman civilization, the Roman Theater, from
second century, which remains today one part of the steps,
the orchestra and the foundation stage.
Seventeenth-century symbol of the Church of
St. Matthew, by Achille Carducci.
Interesting is the Gallery, where are preserved
paints of various artists of Salento; ivories and
pottery of the seventeenth and eighteenth
centuries.
