Highlight • Religious Site

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.

It was built in the 12th century in Romanesque style and then rebuilt in the 17th century in Lecce Baroque style by the architect Giuseppe Zimbalo. It has two facades: a main one, sober and elegant, and a side one, rich and scenographic, which overlooks the Piazza del Duomo. The bell tower, 70 meters high, is considered the symbol of the city.
