Lecce, a Baroque City in Southern Italy
Lecce is a historic city of 95,000 inhabitants in southern Italy, the capital of the province of Lecce. It is the main city of the Salentine Peninsula, a sub-peninsula at the heel of the Italian Peninsula and is over 2,000 years old. Whereas many people skip it in favour of the nearby beach towns of the Salento peninsula, this city, distinguished by its elaborate style of baroque buildings, has at least a couple of days of attractions worth seeing.
From the 15th century, Lecce was one of the most important cities of southern Italy, and, starting in 1630, it was enriched with precious Baroque monuments. Because of the rich Baroque architectural monuments found in the city, Lecce is commonly nicknamed The Florence of the South. The city also has a long traditional affinity with Greek culture going back to its foundation; the Messapii who founded the city are said to have been Cretans in Greek records. To this day, in the Grecìa Salentina, a group of towns not far from Lecce, the griko language is still spoken.
The most important religious building is the Church of the Holy Cross. The church has a richly decorated façade with animals, grotesque figures and vegetables, and a large rose window. Next to the church is the Government Palace, a former convent. Lecce Cathedral is also one of the most significant cathedrals in Italy.
In terms of industry the Lecce stone is the city's main export, because it is very soft and malleable, thus suitable for sculptures. Lecce stone is a kind of limestone. Lecce is also an important agricultural centre, chiefly for its olive oil and wine production, as well as an industrial centre specialising in ceramic production.

LECCE e BARI ...brevi impressioni ** puglia italy **
Lecce e Bari, due città così vicine eppure così diverse, non solo per dimensione ma anche sotto l'aspetto architettonico e culturale.
In una terra dove prevale la bianchissima e sobria eleganza di case, castelli e chiese romaniche, visitare LECCE è come immergersi in un sontuoso scenario teatrale con tutto lo stupore che l'arte barocca ci propone. Passeggiando per le vie del centro, in buona parte pedonali, si possono raggiungere i tre punti di maggiore interesse: la piazza del Duomo, completamente racchiusa da un insieme omogeneo di edifici barocchi che ne fanno uno dei luoghi più belli dell'intero meridione (curiosamente la scenografica facciata del Duomo che appare a prima vista è in realtà il lato sinistro dello stesso); la centrale e animata piazza S.Oronzo, dominata dalla statua del santo patrono della città e da una parte dell'anfiteatro romano del II secolo; ed infine la Basilica di S.Croce la cui facciata può definirsi il trionfo del barocco leccese, un barocco talvolta stravagante che si ritrova in numerosi altri edifici e chiese del centro, che può piacere o non piacere ma certamente non lascia indifferenti.
BARI è una città di mare, moderna e commerciale, ma con un antico centro (barivecchia) che è un caotico intrecciarsi di vicoli dove si passeggia volentieri, posto su un promontorio circondato da mura a ridosso del mare. Partendo dal Castello Aragonese si raggiunge quasi subito la romanica Cattedrale di S.Sabino, poi in leggera salita ci si addentra nel folclore del nucleo storico fino a raggiungere la Basilica di S.Nicola, bellissimo esempio di architettura romanico-pugliese e luogo di maggiore interesse della città. San Nicola di Myra, le cui spoglie furono traslate dalla Turchia per opera di marinai baresi nel 1087, è uno dei santi maggiormente venerati dai cristiani ortodossi, in particolare dalla Chiesa russa che alimenta su Bari un costante turismo di carattere religioso. Frequentata da fedeli di diverse confessioni, la Basilica rappresenta quindi un ammirevole punto di coesione religiosa, dove nella cripta si tengono anche funzioni di rito ortodosso in un altare a lato delle spoglie del santo. Bari non offre molto altro sotto l'aspetto turistico ma è certamente d'obbligo una breve passeggiata sul lungomare e nel salotto buono della città, l'elegante e commerciale via Sparano.
