Lecce

Lecce was first a greek city and then a Roman town, it is the chief town of the Salento Peninsula flowing into the Leuca Cape where the ancients had marked the boundry of the Otranto Land the actual bottom of Italy. Lecce maintains more an aristocratical, spiritual and intellectual distinction than an economic and commercial one in the heart of a fertile and happy agricultural region.

Lecce is famous for its art, beauty and richness and to the loyalty to its traditions.Lecce baroque complies with roman churches structures superimposed with triumphs of fruit and flowers, exotical animals and ribbons always characterized by a taste for details and ornaments admiringly astonishing visitors. The church in the city of Lecce is one of the most meaningful monuments of the Morman time Architect Cino who built the baroque front was able to save most of the ancient parts the portal and central eye decorated in a sober manner.

Shopping in Lecce is fabulous, the shop at Via Rubichi is a great place to findbargains on all the local crafts and the wine shop that sells the excellent Salento wines. The church of Gesu and Palazzo Costantini having an unusal balcony is also worth visiting.
