Cattedrale di Santa Maria Assunta

“You can find this ancient structure in the southern part of the Piazza Sant’Oronzo. This amphitheatre was not unearthed until 1929 but it was built in the second century AD and had a capacity of 25,000. It is possible today to take tours of the theatre and see the remains of this once impressive structure. Much of the stairs, seating, external walls and columns still stand in a fantastic condition and you can really gain a great sense of the magnificence of this arena. For those who love ancient history there is no better site in Lecce to visit.”

“Ingresso principale per entrare nel Centro Storico di Lecce e da qui raggiungere Piazetta Duomo, Piazza Sant'Oronzo, Visitare l'Anfitreatro Romano e lungo le strade ricchi di punti di'interesse, bar, ristoranti, librerie, ecc.. A soli 10 min dal B&B Amarcord.”

“This is one of the most beautiful churches in Lecce and is renowned for its amazing architecture and stunning Baroque façade. Created in the 17th century, this church is created from the unique Lecce stone that gives the structure its light cream colouration. The front façade is truly breath-taking and the amount of decoration and artwork is quite astounding. The walls are packed full of intricate sculptures, gorgeous rose windows and interesting stone statues. The interior in contrast is not as opulent but still features some beautiful stonework and religious decoration.”

“Percorrendo via Libertini, colpisce la sua scalinata. E' il luogo in cui si celebrano i matrimoni civili. Occorre addentrarsi nella stradina che porta alle spalle del palazzo per ammirare uno splendido giardino in cui troviamo uno spettacolare ficus, una pianta secolare veramente enorme. Walking along Libertini Street, it hits its staircase. It is the place where civil marriages are celebrated. You have to go into the narrow street that leads to the palace to admire a beautiful garden where we find a spectacular ficus, a truly huge centuries-old plant.”
