Lecce

Lecce is the Baroque heart of Salento, a city that enchants with its golden stone elegance and lively atmosphere. To stroll through its streets is to immerse oneself in centuries of history, among spectacular churches, noble palaces and small alleys full of charm. The historic center, well preserved and enlivened by artisan stores, typical establishments and outdoor cafes, offers an authentic experience among Salento's culture, art and gastronomy. Lecce is also a university town, young and dynamic, where the past and present are harmoniously intertwined.

Piazza Sant'Oronzo is the beating heart of the city, a meeting point between ancient history and daily life. Dominated by the column dedicated to the patron saint and overlooking the Roman amphitheater, it is a symbolic place where the past becomes the present. All around are historic cafes, elegant stores and fascinating glimpses of the Baroque center. It is the ideal place to breathe in the soul of Lecce, watch the comings and goings of passersby and be surprised by the majesty of the monuments that surround it.

Lecce's marinas offer a wide variety of coastal landscapes, capable of satisfying every type of traveler. From Torre Chianca to San Cataldo, passing through Frigole, Torre Rinalda and Torre Veneri, the coastline alternates between sandy beaches, cliffs and wild stretches lapped by a crystal clear sea. These locations represent the more natural and relaxing side of Lecce, ideal for those seeking a break from the city pace without straying too far. The marinas are also the perfect starting point for bicycle excursions, walks in the Mediterranean maquis or days by the sea.
