This English walking tour of Lecce is led by a passionate local historian and focuses on the city's rich Baroque architecture. As you move through the streets, the guide will explain the stories, secrets and hidden details behind façades, sculptures and ornate interiors. Along the way you’ll hear about local traditions, historical events and the small, easily missed features that give Lecce its unique character.

The experience goes beyond standard sightseeing. Through history and visits to little‑known corners of the city, you’ll gain a perspective most visitors never see and a deeper sense of how the place developed. It’s suited to travellers who want to connect with the true character of Lecce rather than just ticking off landmarks. Lecce will surprise you.
