The historical centre of Lecce

Discover our properties in Lecce: Historical Buildings, Apartments and Dwellings


Welcome to the beating heart of Lecce, a historical centre steeped in history, culture and tradition, where time seems to stand still to recount the eras that have shaped it.

Lecce is renowned for its incredible Baroque heritage, and it is hard not to be captivated by the intricate details of the churches, such as the Church of Santa Croce, St Irene or the Duomo; of the historic palaces and ornate balconies. But Lecce is much more than a series of ancient buildings. It is a city that lives and breathes its rich tradition.

In every corner of the old city centre, ancient stones tell millenary stories. Strolling through the narrow streets, you can discover master craftsmen carving the famous Lecce's stone, creating unique and detailed works of art. This stone is the connective tissue between Lecce's past and present, shaping its character and timeless beauty.

The hidden courtyards are another marvel of the historic centre. Each courtyard is an explosion of colours and scents, with flowers, plants and artistic decorations transforming private spaces into secret havens.

But Lecce is also a city of flavours and culinary traditions. Along the narrow streets, you will find osterias and trattorias offering typical Salento dishes. You cannot leave Lecce without tasting an authentic 'coffee on ice',  a refreshing drink that has become a tradition in the summer heat.

The historic centre of Lecce is a place where the past merges with the present in a fascinating embrace. It is a world of architectural beauty, high quality craftsmanship, authentic flavour and warm hospitality. Indulge yourself in this unique experience in the heart of Lecce.

Located a short distance from Brindisi airport away, Lecce is the ideal starting point for exploring Apulia in style. The city offers equidistant access to the Adriatic and Ionian Seas, allowing you to enjoy the breathtaking beaches of both coasts.

In short, Lecce is an experience of sophistication and beauty that appeals to those seeking the perfect fusion of history, culture, gastronomy and elegant lifestyle in the beautiful setting of Apulia.
