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.

Located near the main station, it's only open a few hours a day so check before you go. We enjoyed the model trains and the prison wagon in particular. There's a good guide book provided with the entrance fee.

They extend underground for about 200 square meters, Below the buildings D'Acugna and fats, which face onto Via Antonietta De Pace. Our Gallipoli are the property of the Association Gallipoli Nostra, which in 1988 had them fully restored and opened to the public use. Inside were reconstructed models of the eighteenth century, some presses Calabrese (two large screws). Originals are, however, the press Genovese (a single screw) and a few presses of the nineteenth century. The visit is particularly challenging with the help of expert guides, who make known to the visitor the techniques and phases of olive oil, thus reliving significant moments in history and local culture, as well as in times when for food oil was marketed primarily for industrial uses (in the carding of wool - especially so required by Paesidel Northern Europe, Sweden and England in the head) and for public and private lighting.
