Lecce area

Lecce has been dubbed the Florence of the south. Whereas many people (not understandably) skip it in favour of the nearby beach towns of the Salento peninsula, this city, distinguished by its elaborate style of baroque buildings, has at least a couple of days of attractions worth seeing, not to mention the best restaurants and bars. Being central to the peninsular Lecce is the ideal position from which to explore the whole of salento.
Piazza S. Oronzo - Situated in the heart of the city and named after the patron saint's statue erect in 1666 after the population had defeated the plague which had broken out ten years before.
Cathedral - A wonderful example of baroque style, most of the cathedral was designed by G.Zimbalo, the most celebrated architect of that time. He also designed the five floor belfry (1682).
Porta Napoli - Also know as Arch of Triumph, it was erected in 1548 to pay homepage to Charles V and thank him for having fortified the town. Twenty metres tall, the arch is situated in a square named after it, where S.Giusto once was.
The Obelisk - Was erected in 1822 thanks to Vito Carluccio at the time when Ferdinando I Borbone came to visit the town.
Paisiello Theatre - Once the permanent theatre of the town. Founded in 1758 and rebuilt in 1870, it was opened with the performance of Giuseppe Verdi' s 'Un ballo in maschera". Because of its rich decorations, this theatre - which can only contain 320 spectators - is nicknamed "The wedding souvenir".
The Holy Cross Church - Is a symbol of the baroque style in Lecce buil in 1646, thanks to three well-know architects - Gabriele Riccardi, who devoted himself to the general plan and the lower part of the facade; Francesco Antonio Zimbalo who made the twin column porch and the portal aside; Cesare Penna who conceived the high level of the facade. The big Romanesque central rose window, the rich frame, the four columns, and the niches as well as the telamons, the imaginay creatures, the animals, the mythological and historical characters of the facade are all what makes this church unique and renowned over the world.

Guestbook for Via IV Novembre

Paulo C - June 09:
We had a wonderful holidays at your house in Lecce.
The house is not only comfortable and with a great location but is also a fine blend of modern and traditional.
Lecce is a great destination, not too big and with a great quality of life.

Ross M.:
We have really enjoyed our stay in Lecce not least because of your great apartment. There's really nothing I could think of for you to improve.

Arkadiusz T.:
First of all let me thank you for great opportunity as living in you apartment was.
Lecce was very hot during our stay and almost constant haze made taking pictures quite difficult but the sea was just great: calm and lukewarm. We have traveled around a bit and even though it was less then I’ve planed still the architecture, nature, people, everything was a great experience. Many thanks.

Lisa F.
Thanks so much for allowing us to stay in your wonderful apartment. We have had a fabulous holiday and are totally enthralled by Puglia... the people, the architecture, the beaches and the FOOD! Lecce is beautiful and the apartment is ideal for seeing both the old and new parts of the city.

Missing everything already, not least the Pasticiotto and Capuccino in the morning. A cup of Nescafe and a digestive biscuit just isn't the same!

No real suggestions to improve what is a great place to stay but a visitors book may be handy - I'm sure you'd have a wealth of lovely comments from people

David C.
We had a great stay in Lecce thanks - the weather was pretty good actually!
(any rain was overnight and we were glad the temperature stayed out of the thirties).
The apartment was very comfortable for us and the two boys.
