  • In the center of Lecce are ruins of a Roman Amphitheater.
  • Another typical Italian juxtaposition- Roman Amphitheatre and the National Agricultural Institute behind.

  • And across, the church of Santa Maria of Grace.
  • Lecce is undergoing restoration. Part of this building looks marvelous and the rest is being worked on.

  • This is a column re-purposed from Roman times.
  • Of course, the ad behind it is very modern.
  • This is Santa Croce. It was under restoration when I was there before, with a photographic image of the facade covering it.
  • Ornate facade of Santa Croce. This style is unique to Lecce due to the use of a softer local stone.
  • If possible, blow these images up. The detail is completely amazing!
