Basilica of the Holy Cross

7 Euro is a bit much but 11 for the 5 stop Baroque (self guided) tour is worth it. There is an App, we did not get so I'm not sure what value it adds) The Baroque art and architecture is quite amazing . The putti and all of the carved people and flowers are stunning. The church organs and ceilings are beautiful. The many alters are fantastic. Basilica of Santa Croce: This is the quintessential masterpiece of Lecce Baroque, famous for its incredibly detailed, ornate facade. I was overwhelmed by all the faces carved and the amount of art around each alter. Take your time to look at each alter. The rose wintow carved art around the outside above the doors is so detailed. Check out all the faces! Enjoy the outside for a few minutes before you go inside,

Very nice Basilica to visit and the front in the white limestone and with its carvings are spectacular. The ticket price is rather steep at 7€ for just the basilica with another 20€ to go up the tower. The best value is the 11€ ticket that gets you into the cathedral and 2 other churches as well. Now that is worth it and it is like a treasure hunt by following the map and getting you around the old city.

Beautiful church right off the square. Go around 4:30pm will often see a wedding.

Beutiful facade. 7e entrance fee just not worth it. Girls at the entrance not very friendly. Couldn't even tell me te entrance pirce, when we asked.

You have to pay to visit this basilica, but it's worth paying €21 to buy a ticket that gets you in all the main churches and tower for that price. It's a beautiful building with a colourful history. You can visit all the main sites in a day, but it's a beautiful little city, and I used it as a base to explore other towns and cities by train.

Imposing basilica with excellent stonework both inside and outside. Interesting wooden ceiling design.

One of the most beautiful basilica I’ve ever seen in my life the architecture from outside and inside was incredible really worth doing it it’s part of the five places journey you can make in this town and it’s all in one ticket and it’s really worth it

Beautiful crafter building in both renaissance and baroque architecture. Fascinating to see each stage and level and the inside is incredible. The next day we walked past and there was a wedding being held inside. Very beautiful venue!
