Private Tour in Lecce and the soul of Salento

5 hours (approximately)

Offered in: English and 2 more

You are all invited to discover an Italian region hidden in the "heel of the boot": Salento. Its particularities in the artistic, linguistic and cultural fields in fact make it a region within the region, a hidden portal that is worth crossing. Ours is a real tour into the past, to discover what architecture was like throughout Puglia before the change in architectural style, from Baroque to Apulian Romanesque. Lecce has preserved the Baroque style for years and that is what makes this city unique. But by experiencing our tour you will discover that Lecce and its surroundings are much more than what you expect.

    Discovering another side of Puglia, very different in dialect, culture but above all architecture. By observing the Basilica of Santa Croce, the greatest example of Lecce Baroque, you will understand the particularity and authenticity of Salento culture, through the meticulousness in detail with which these architectural wonders are represented. We will then move to the Cathedral, which creates that deep bond of closeness between Lecce and its patron saints. After the equally iconic visits to the Roman Amphitheater in Piazza Sant'Oronzo and the Castle of Charles V nearby, it will be possible to appreciate the culinary culture of Lecce by tasting a delicious pasticciotto.

    We will continue to Otranto, the so-called "gateway to the East", the easternmost point of Italy, where you can admire the splendid sea in the Spiaggia delle Due Sorelle, where in case of perfectly clear skies it will even be possible to see Albania! The identity of the city of Otranto, however, is not only linked to the sea, but also to important architectural structures such as the Aragonese Castle which surrounds the historic center together with the mighty walls with the Cathedral of Santa Maria Annunziata inside, which is the result of a mosaic of architectural styles, just as Otranto is a mosaic of peoples.
