Full description
Immerse yourself in the Baroque architecture of Lecce on this guided walking tour. Discover the art and culture of the city's churches, antique buildings, and papier-machè masterpieces. Your tour begins from Sant'Oronzo square, where you will find a Roman Amphitheater which was first discovered at the beginning of the 20th Century. The itinerary goes on to the historic center, which is rich with churches and old buildings decorated by Baroque Art. During the tour, it will be possible to look at papier-machè artisans at work. This kind of art belongs to Lecce from the 17th Century, when it was conceived to decorate churches, back when the paper was the only material available. It continues to adorn the houses and the churches of this magical city thanks to old masters and young people.

Fabio was wonderful with his thorough archeological, historic and gastronomic knowledge of Lecce and Puglia in general. His style was engaging and he made us feel right at home with knowledge that we would not have found without him. His advice about restaurants was excellent and his quote “glorious food, it’s not just nutrition” was just right. He also gave us great advice on what else to see in the area.
