Lecce Cathedral (Cathedral of Saint Mary of the Assumption)

Highlight • Religious Site

The cathedral of Santa Maria Assunta is the mother church of Lecce and the seat of the archbishop. It was built in the 12th century in Romanesque style and then rebuilt in the 17th century in Lecce Baroque style by the architect Giuseppe Zimbalo. It has two facades: a main one, sober and elegant, and a side one, rich and scenographic, which overlooks the Piazza del Duomo. The bell tower, 70 meters high, is considered the symbol of the city.

Lecce Castle

Highlight • Castle

The castle of Lecce, also known as the Castle of Charles V, is a fortress located in the historic center of the city built in the 12th century as the residence of the counts of Lecce. In the 16th century, the emperor Charles V ordered a restructuring of the castle to adapt it to the new defensive and symbolic needs. The castle thus assumed its current form, with four corner bastions and a wall that incorporated the previous medieval structure.
