• Piazza del Duomo - A splendid example of a square transformed into Baroque style, it unfolds before us like a theater wing. On the left, the magnificent late 17th-century bell tower, crafted by Giuseppe Zimbalo, stands prominently over the square 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 portico in propylaea, is an admirable work by Emanuele Manieri. On the right, the Palazzo del Seminario, with its rustication and eclectic baroque style, is the creation of Giuseppe Cino. (Visit outside)
• Teatro Romano di Lecce - Enjoy the view of the ancient Roman Theater from the Augustan age, which was buried over the centuries and revealed by a 19th-century excavation. This evocative site is surrounded by Baroque gardens that frame the open spaces of the terraces, the orchestra, and the proscenium. (Visit outside)
• Piazza Sant’Oronzo - The heart of the city, the ancient Piazza dei Mercadanti from the 1700s, still bears signs 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.
• 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 continue to inspire spirituality today. (Visit outside)
