Lecce is a historic city located in the Puglia region of southern Italy, known for its rich baroque architectural heritage and cultural significance. The city, often referred to as the "Florence of the South," features distinctive limestone buildings and elaborately decorated churches that showcase the unique Lecce Baroque style, which flourished in the 17th century. The local soft limestone, known as 'pietra leccese,' allowed artisans to create intricate sculptural decorations that characterize the city's historical center.
Beyond its architectural heritage, Lecce has a strong artistic tradition, with numerous workshops maintaining traditional crafts such as papier-mâché art. The city is also home to significant archaeological sites, including a Roman amphitheater and theater, which testify to its ancient origins. Today, Lecce serves as an important cultural center, hosting various arts festivals and cultural events throughout the year.
