Lecce is southern Florence!

Florence! Its southern version is on the heel of the Italian “boot” in the region of Puglia, and bears the name Lecce. The city was founded even BC, and in the “City of Baroque” was transformed in the XVI century. The presence of a “soft” stone structure allows craftsmen to easily turn its pieces into bizarre figurines. The so-called local stone “Pietra Leccese”, in the form of sculptural sculptures and souvenirs, leaves the Apulian land. Together with tourists traveling around the world, at any time reminding of the time spent in such a unique and luxurious city - Lecce.

Stone clusters of grapes, pomegranates, spruce cones wrap around the columns of the church interior, decorating numerous baroque chapels. It looks so dynamic and realistic that if you paint colored fruits, you want to reach out and pick these southern fruits.

But this magic reigns not only in the interior of buildings, outside the streets of the city look not less interesting! Stone sculptures of mythological heroes greet passers-by and recall stories from the lives of these legendary heroes.

Lecce is located between two seas: the Adriatic and the Ionian. In the Middle Ages, there was a lighthouse on the city tower, to the light of which the ships of these two seas were guided. Now this city resembles that lighthouse, but today these beacons are many. And it shines, with an amber hue, a special rock. It is so much that this sunshine creates a positive, joyful and cheerful mood!
