VISIT OF LECCE, THE CITY OF ART
Discover Lecce, the capital of the Salento Peninsula. 
Of Messapian origin, according to tradition, Lecce was founded in the 5th century B.C. From the second half of the 16th century, Lecce experienced a period of particular good fortune that was destined to last for two centuries. The city, called “Athens in Apulia” as well as “Florence of the South,” attracted the nobility and aristocrats who decorated luxurious facades of their palazzi, chapels and churches with exuberant architecture and Baroque-style solutions.

Otranto, the ancient city of Hydruntum, has for millennia stood at the crossroads between different civilizations. It was a Greek town and, for its position between Italy and Greece, in the roman age it became an important port. In the middle ages, it was one of the most important centers of the Byzantine dominion.  
Our Tour Guide in Otranto will show you the ancient Castle and Chuches as the Cathedral and St Peter's Church, famous for its many frescoes on the walls, in Byzantine style.
