- Piazza Sant’Oronzo. To start your visit to Lecce, head over to Piazza Sant’Oronzo, the largest square in the city. Located in the heart of Lecce’s historic center, you can’t miss it.
- Piazza del Duomo. The Piazza del Duomo is one of the best places to visit in Lecce and any self-respecting Italian city. Lecce’s Piazza del Duomo is actually one of the largest and most beautiful squares I’ve seen during my trips to Italy and Sicily.
- The Duomo of Lecce. The Duomo of Lecce is definitely a must-see attraction of the city. As I’ve already mentioned it just above, it’s no surprise to learn that it’s located on Piazza del Duomo – That makes sense, right?
- The Basilica of Santa Croce. Let’s continue this guide of the best places to see in Lecce with The Basilica of Santa Croce. Arguably Lecce’s most beautiful Baroque-style church, it’s famous for its elaborately adorned upper facade, decorated with fruits, flowers, mythological figures, and delicate carvings of men.
- Visit the Porta San Biagio. I kicked things off at Porta San Biagio. We basically just parked in front, and there it was: this gate that’s straight out of a storybook, slapped with Ferdinand of Bourbon's coat of arms, and oozing old-world charm.
- Check out Centro Storico (Historic Center) The historic center of Lecce is a captivating fusion of history, culture, food and craftsmanship. Every time you look up you'll be amazed, by the beauty of the buildings and monuments.
- Explore the Musa - Museo Storico Archeologico. I visited the Musa Historical Archaeological Museum in Lecce, Italy. This place immerses you in Salentos past.
- Make a pilgrimage to Basilica di Santa Croce. The Basilica di Santa Croce is considered the epitome of Lecce's Baroque architecture. Its façade, more than being a decorative front, tells stories of faith and the history of Catholicism dating back to the late 16th century.
