About Lecce
Carved stone façades, sculpted balconies, and café tables shape Lecce, an Italian city in Puglia where Baroque architecture defines the historic center.
Piazza Sant'Oronzo, the Duomo di Lecce, and Museo Faggiano fill the Centro Storico with architectural and archaeological interest, while Pasticciotto and Rustico Leccese bring local flavor to the day.
Couples often linger over a passeggiata serale before settling into an orecchiette dish. July and August bring the liveliest seasonal atmosphere, and stays of three to seven days leave time for a Salento coastal day trip and the city’s relaxed streets.
