Lecce all year round
When you decide to organize a holiday in Salento, , you will have to stop in Lecce. . The artistic and archaeological treasure is linked to the history of the city, which has its origin in times when in these lands lived the ancient Messapi, Saracens, Greeks and Byzantines and the city was called Sybar . Lecce is the city where history never ages and the past lives along with the present, looking towards the future. Lecce is unique and unmistakable for its decorative- architectural evidence of the Renaissance, Baroque and RococoMany people call it a small open-air museum, carved in a unique and exuberant gentle stone of rare softness. A museum where you can be amazed by the expressiveness of the papier-mâché figures, a mixture with chalk, straw rags and other humble materials, created by secular experienced hands. Lecce is a city to visit in every season and not only in summer. Let yourself be transported on this wonderful and fascinating journey through time and imagination among the many monuments, squares, churches and palaces of the city, all to visit, live and dream. A music that joins art, science and architecture, love and passion.

There are 11 countries that represent this land, surrounded by olive trees still bordered by dry stone wall , where time seems to have stopped between stories and ancient legends, dolmens, menhirs, enclosed in a language of seductive charm, the enchanting sound of the songs in “ Griko ” and the ritual therapeutic dance of “Taranta”.
