Lecce and Salento

The Piazza Duomo is perhaps the most surprising sight. Known as the 'living room' of the Leccesi, it is a scenic space overlooked by a Cathedral, ‘the Bishop's Palace’, a late 17th-century seminary building that now houses the Diocesan Museum. There is also a Baroque-style bell tower which offers a view over the rooftops of the city that reaches as far as the sea.

Whilst you explore, there are many interesting museums to visit, including the Sigismondo Castromediano, the oldest in Apulia, that takes you on a journey from prehistory to the present day, often showcasing temporary exhibitions and other cultural activities, including concerts and yoga. From Lecce stone workshops to village festivals serving local cuisine, Lecce and Salento are the most beautiful places to discover in Italy, enchanting you with unforgettable views that stretch along the Ionian and Adriatic coastlines.
