Lecce is a precious gem, a unique Baroque city, for centuries a crossroads of different cultures of the Mediterranean, with clear blue skies and golden palaces, we marvel with the elaborate facades of Baroque buildings and churches and with the interiors that explode in a symphony of angels, cherubs, saints and flowers! It's a magical place, where time seems to stand still!

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.

Well Worth it

5.00Lorenzo was an amazing tour guide who provided a knowledgeable and lively tour of Lecce. His art history background enabled Lorenzo to provide us with details about the remarkable history of Lecce. We also stopped for a Italian iced coffee and patry break compliments of Lorenzo. This was one of our best tours in 2 weeks in Italian.

5.00Exploring the baroque beauty of Lecce is even better with a great guide. We loved our historic walking tour with Lorenzo—his deep knowledge of history and art, quick responses when booking, and wonderful sense of humour made the experience both engaging and fun. Over two hours, he brought Lecce’s symbol-rich baroque architecture to life, helping us see the city with new eyes. If you’re visiting Lecce, a walking tour with Lorenzo is a fantastic way to understand the stories behind this beautiful city.
Book Lorenzo!

5.00We enjoyed a wonderful tour with Lorenzo. He is passionate and very knowledgeable about his home city of Lecce. His English is fantastic and his educational background in art and history made for a rich tour experience. He didn’t walk us all around from place to place, rather he focused on a few key sites and gave us a depth of information. His tour was more expensive than other options, but we were happy with the value we received.
Great guide in a beautiful city

5.00Lorenzo was a fantastic guide and brought Lecce and its beautiful style of baroque architecture to life. He was born here and his love of his home town shines through his excellent descriptions of each church and palace. He's such a warm and kind person, it was a pleasure to spend time with him. He showed me small gems I would have otherwise missed and shared many interesting stories and legends as well. Without Lorenzo I wouldn't have understood and enjoyed this lovely city nearly as much - If you have the opportunity to take a tour with Lorenzo do not hesitate, you'll be so glad that you did.
An excellent adventure

5.00You never know when you book a guide as to whether or not the experience will be a good one. Our guide, Lorenzo, was beyond a good one. He was knowledgeable, personable, and gracious. He turned two hours into a treasured memory.
Lorenzo was not just...

5.00Lorenzo was fantastic! Knowledgeable, courteous and amiable. The tour was very worth it (and I’m not really a “tour” person)… had we not gone with Lorenzo, we wouldn’t have understood any of the rich history of Lecce. I highly recommend you spend a couple hours with Lorenzo!
Excellent guided walk through Lecce

5.00We really enjoyed the tour of Lecce led by Lorenzo. He was engaging, informative and entertaining. We would not have appreciated the history and significance of the many wonderful buildings in the city without his guidance. And the coffee and pastry were delicious. Highly recommended.
