E' quello che non ti aspetti di trovare nella stretta viuzza in cui è ubicata. Da non perdere. Famosa di recente per il matrimonio di Cristel Carrisi, che ha portato a Lecce i tanti ammiratori di Al Bano e Romina. This magnificent church is what you do not expect to find in the narrow street where it is located. Not to be missed! Famous recently for the wedding of Cristel Carrisi, who brought to Lecce the many admirers of Al Bano and Romina.

Lecce’s lavish architectural style, featuring magnificent facades carved from local pietra leccese stone, is so distinctive that it has its own label: Barocco Leccese, or Lecce baroque. Begin your visit of this jewel-like city with a guided tour through the old town (centro storico) to appreciate highlights such as the Basilica di Santa Croce, cathedral (duomo) and its Piazza del Duomo, and Church of Santa Chiara.

This church is often understated and overshadowed by the Basilica and Cathedral, but it actually has one of the most interesting facades and a unique design. Created in 1667, the Chiesa di San Matteo has a Baroque architectural site and its front façade has a curved design – the wall actually curves in a sweeping arch and is covered in beautiful sculpture work and statues. Furthermore, the interior of this church has 9 spectacular altars that feature depictions of different religious figures and fables such as the nativity and the assumption. Each altar has a fantastic amount of detail and the surrounding plasterwork is highly intricate.

Baroque Church of the XVII century, designed by Achille Larducci di Salò, nephew of Francesco Borromini, the architect of several important baroque churches in Rome. It is often busy with weddings which spill out in the small piazza in front of it. Fun to watch!
