The Basilica of Santa Croce is a Baroque church located in the historic center and built between the 16th and 17th centuries by the most famous architects from Lecce. The basilica has a facade richly decorated with columns, statues, cherubs and telamons, which represent temporal and spiritual power. Leaving the alleys and finding yourself in front of the main portal you will be amazed.

Church of Saint Clare (Lecce)

Highlight • Religious Site

The Umbrian pilgrimage site of Assisi has produced two important personalities: “Santa CHIARA” also deserves to be honored alongside “San FRANCESCO”. She lived at the same time as Francis: Clara was born in (or around) 1193 and died in 1253. Her general memorial day in the calendar of saints is the day of her death on August 11th for all major Christian denominations, but there are also regional or order-specific memorial days. In addition to this church, which was entrusted to her patronage, there are two important places in Assisi itself to follow in her footsteps: The Church of the Holy Sepulchre in the center of Assisi (if you are interested, see komoot.com/de-de/highlight/361280 ), and the monastery of "San Damiano" (see komoot.com/de-de/highlight/361272 ), located just outside the historic city walls.

At exactly 8:30 a.m., we drove from Torre Canne to Lecce in the southern part of the boot in Apulia. Lecce's old town was built in the Baroque style with sandy limestone.

Unfortunately, the weather was very mixed, and we had to open our umbrellas for the first hour and a half, but it was about 18°.

Known as the "Florence of the South", Lecce surprises, fascinates and conquers with its archaeological remains from Roman rule and the lush 17th-century Baroque, known here as "Baroque of Lecce". It is such a beautiful city with small winding alleys that I love to stroll through. Small souvenir shops and Osterias and of course Gelaterie. These are the little towns …
