The exciting beauty of the salentine capital and its typical Baroque have been highlighted by Lonely Planet, the Australian publishing house of the most famous tourist guides, rating Lecce among the best cities in the world in the prestigious list “Best in Travel 2010”.

The white local stone, moulded by stonecutters and carvers’ skilfulness, becomes flushed with gold, kissed by the sun, spreading indescribable warmth and beauty to the whole noble palaces, to caryatids and every ornament of the Baroque-style churches, to the squares and the various monuments embellishing the historical centre.

Walking around the old town is like a full immersion to discover the past of the city: every corner, every courtyard, every palace tells a piece of history. Art, culture, architecture, traditions join to make Lecce an exclusive city. You could enjoy a special holiday in every season of the year to find out a charming town will surely amaze and capture you.
