Easily one of the most interesting churches in the entire region. The early medieval floor mozaic based on a tree of life motif is incredible and is in fantastic condition.

Lecce is a true center piece of Baroque architecture. The Basilica a excellent example of this style. You really need to stand and study the building with your eyes as you would a piece of art.

If you are this deep in the south, you already are immersed in the magnificent coastline and communities that shape and dot the landscape. When i say deep, i mean on the Salento Peninsula, the heel of the Italian boot, where this shelving limestone cove is dominated by a 16th-Century watchtower at the end of Puglia’s finest beaches. Its name means “ wild harbour”, so while the femme and i were doing excursions around the feral rock-strewn bay, serenaded by the rustling wind in the umbrella pines. We paused frequently for a plung into the cold water and to chew on delectable we brought with us for a bite. The bay’s rocky platforms are perfect to launch yourself into the briny.

We loved this fascinating private museum near the Biagio Gate. Layers of history hidden below an old Lecce house, discovered by the owners by accident. The owner's son was very helpful and friendly, explaining how they uncovered the layers, going right back to Roman times. Well worth a visit, and a great view from the Templar watchtower at the top of the house.
