Lecce is not only baroque, but also stories and legends that have been handed down for centuries. From the palaces of Freemasonry to the vicissitudes of medieval knights in search of the true cross, from a magical journey to the stories of tragic loves and demonic and angelic apparitions. A journey among saints and demons, among ancient Egyptian divinities and Madonnas that look out from the altars, for a path destined for those who want to see Lecce with new eyes. WelcomeLecce with its decades of experience and professionalism can make you live a different story, for a memory of Lecce and Salento difficult to forget.
