Going into the crypt is a must. Seeing the skeletal remains is a bit scary. The best value is the 11€ ticket that gets you into the Basilica (7€ just for this), Cathedral (this one) 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.

Absolutely breathtaking Baroque cathedral in the heart of Lecce. The façade is richly detailed, with statues, symbols, and elegant columns. Inside, the atmosphere is serene and spiritually uplifting. A must-visit landmark in Puglia. Un capolavoro del barocco leccese, da non perdere!

A beautiful square with connecting little streets. This church and its surroundings are truly stunning. However, tickets are required here, which is a bit disappointing, as one wouldn’t expect it for this type of monument. Moreover, they are sold on the other side of the square.

Visited in July of 2024. Absolutely stunning. I was mind blown by the beauty and the detail of the church, inside and out! The tickets aren’t that expensive. The interior is intricately decorated with paintings. Another church as beautiful as this one is rare to find.

Impressive cathedral, interesting marble work and ceiling. The crypt was also quite impressive.
