• Piazza del Duomo - A splendid example of a square transformed into Baroque style, it unfolds like a theater wing. On the left, the magnificent late 17th-century bell tower by Giuseppe Zimbalo stands prominently with its majolica dome. At the center, the Cathedral features a façade with a balustrade, overlooked by the statue of the city’s protector, Sant’Oronzo, and adorned with flowers, angels, and lanceolate points, a sublime example of fanzaghesco baroque. The Episcopio, with its propylaea portico, is an admirable work by Emanuele Manieri. On the right, the Palazzo del Seminario showcases its rustication and eclectic baroque style, crafted by Giuseppe Cino. (Visit outside)
• Anfiteatro Romano - This arena, dating back to the first century AD, was partially uncovered at the beginning of the last century. Visitors can admire the impressive architecture of the cavea, stands, rampant arches, and balteus, a jewel in the heart of Lecce’s historic center.
• Basilica di Santa Croce - A world masterpiece of Baroque art, its exquisite facade is dedicated to the Battle of Lepanto, symbolizing the ideal triumph of the Christian and Western European world. The lavish decorations and numerous symbols captivate the eye and elevate spirituality even today. (Visit outside)
• Piazza Sant’Oronzo - The heart of the city, the ancient Piazza dei Mercadanti from the 1700s, still bears traces of its past linked to the influence of the Maritime Republic of Venice. It features the Palazzo del Sedile, a venue for exhibitions and city assemblies, and the adjoining church of Saint Mark. The square borders the ancient Roman Amphitheater, partially revealed, a gem nestled among Baroque, Art Nouveau, Rationalist, and Venetian palaces.
