What To Expect
Piazza del Duomo
Wonderful example of a square converted in Baroque style, it opens before us like a wing of a theater, on the left the wonderful late 17th century bell tower built by Giuseppe Zimbalo stands out over the square with its majolica dome; in the center the Cathedral with its façade characterized by a balustrade overlooked by the statue of the protector of the city, Sant'Oronzo, and adorned with flowers, angels and lanceolate points, a sublime example of fanzaghesco baroque; the Episcopio with the portico in propylaea, an admirable work by Emanuele Manieri; on the right the Palazzo del Seminario with its rustication and its eclectic baroque, the work of Giuseppe Cino. (Visit outside)
Teatro Romano di Lecce
We will admire the view on the ancient Roman Theater, from the Augustan age, which over the centuries had been buried only to be unveiled by an excavation carried out in the 19th century, an evocative place surrounded by the Baroque gardens that frame the open spaces of the terraces, the orchestra, of the proscenium.

5.00Lorenzo is an excellent guide. He is knowledgeable, enthusiastic, warm and accommodating. It was great to be hosted by a local and to learn so much in a short amount of time. With Lorenzo you can’t go wrong.

5.00Enjoyed the architectural perspective of the history of Lecce. Done with humour and wit. And the role religion played in the wars.
Great tour!
