Itinerary

  1. You will meet the guide at the Castle of Otranto and you will begin the visit of one of the most beautiful towns in Italy, overlooking the sea. Otranto is located at the easternmost point of the heel of Italy, which is why it has always been considered the gateway to Italy for populations from the East. It is certainly one of the most historically and culturally important centers of the Salento, thanks to the presence of ancient churches and buildings, of the Aragonese castle built at the end of the 15th century, the towers and walls that protected the city. During the guided tour you will discover its characteristic historical center, meeting, from time to time, glimpses of landscapes where the village meets the famous crystalline sea. You will have the opportunity to enter the Cathedral of the Annunciation which houses one of the most beautiful mosaics in southern Italy, built in the second half of the 1100s and which represents the tree of life.

About Lecce

Lecce is a Baroque city in Italy's heel, built in honey-coloured limestone and carved with flowers, animals and saints on every façade.

Lecce's soft local limestone could be carved like wood, and the architects of the seventeenth century used it to cover churches and palaces in garlands, cherubs, animals and plants, a style called Leccese Baroque. The Basilica of Santa Croce has the richest façade, and the Piazza del Duomo is a closed square with a campanile. A Roman amphitheatre lies half uncovered in Piazza Sant'Oronzo, and the city is sometimes called the Florence of the South.

Top-ranked sights in Lecce: Lecce Basilica of Santa Croce (Basilica Di Santa Croce), Lecce Roman Amphitheatre (Anfiteatro Romano di Lecce), Porta Napoli.
