Description of the tour

Tour itinerary: Lecce

A tour in the city center of Lecce (called the Southern Florence for its wonderfull architecture) to discover why it has been included by Lonely Planet in the top ten of the cities to visit.
An itinerary through the history of Lecce and its symbols (churches, palaces, squares, etc.): from the Roman domination (when it was called Lupiae) to the Baroque style architecture.

During the tour we can stop to visit an artisan workshop (to admire the world famous papier-maché, to find the real Made in Italy at an atelier with excellent natural fabrics) and/or to taste the typical “street food” of Lecce (from the salty Rustico to the sweet Pasticciotto or an ice-cream) and/or a coffee in a artisanal roasting bar.
