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.

Reviewed By GRS-SJS - Sebastopol, United States

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.

Chiesa di San Matteo

Reviewed By israroz - Ra'anana, Israel

The Chiesa di San Matteo building, according to travelers’ guidebooks, is the "Most Daring" Baroque Design building found in Lecce. The exterior of the church is incredibly special and most impressive. The contents of the church is incredibly and extraordinary rich. During our visits in many Italian churches we have visited up to now, this church is "IN THE OPENING FIVE" in all areas. "A must-visit that should NOT 2 B MISSED."
