Lecce Cathedral (Cathedral of Saint Mary of the Assumption)

Highlight • Religious Site

The cathedral of Santa Maria Assunta is the mother church of Lecce and the seat of the archbishop. It was built in the 12th century in Romanesque style and then rebuilt in the 17th century in Lecce Baroque style by the architect Giuseppe Zimbalo. It has two facades: a main one, sober and elegant, and a side one, rich and scenographic, which overlooks the Piazza del Duomo. The bell tower, 70 meters high, is considered the symbol of the city.

Lecce Castle

Highlight • Castle

The castle of Lecce, also known as the Castle of Charles V, is a fortress located in the historic center of the city built in the 12th century as the residence of the counts of Lecce. In the 16th century, the emperor Charles V ordered a restructuring of the castle to adapt it to the new defensive and symbolic needs. The castle thus assumed its current form, with four corner bastions and a wall that incorporated the previous medieval structure.

Roman Amphitheatre

Highlight • Historical Site

The amphitheater bears witness to the importance that Lecce reached in Roman times. Although there is no certainty about the dating of this work, the most accredited theses attribute it to the will of the emperor Augustus (1st and 2nd century after Christ). Over the centuries the different dominations and natural events have drastically changed the appearance of this part of the city until the Roman structure has completely disappeared. It was only during the construction of the Banca d'Italia headquarters, which took place in the early years of the 20th century, that the first remains of this work came to light. The part visible today is only a third of the original structure, which could accommodate up to 25,000 people, the rest is still buried under the pavement of Piazza Sant'Oronzo.
