ABOUT LECCE |
|
|
 |
Often called "the Florence of the
South," Lecce lies in the heart of the Salento Peninsula, the "heel"
of the Italian boot. The town was founded before the time of the
ancient Greeks, but its best known for the architecture, barocco
leccese (Lecce baroque), of many of its buildings. Dating from
Lecce's heyday in the 16th, 17th, and 18th centuries, these
structures are made mostly of fine-grained yellow limestone. Masons
delighted in working with the golden material; their efforts turned
the city into what one architectural critic called a "gigantic bowl
of overripe fruit." Alas, recent restorations have taken away much
of the color as workers have whitewashed the buildings. |

Piazza Sant'Oronzo
is a good place to begin a stroll through Lecce. The 2nd-century A.D.
Roman column erected here, Colonna Romana, once stood near its mate
in Brindisi, and together they marked the end of the Appian Way.
Lightning toppled this column in 1528, and the Brindisians left it
lying on the ground until 1661, at which time the citizens of Lecce
bought it and set up the pillar in their hometown. St. Oronzo, for
whom the square is named, now stands atop it guarding the area. At
the southern side of the piazza are the remains of a Roman
amphitheatre. Dating from the 1st century B.C., it accommodated
20,000 fans, who came to watch bloody fights between gladiators and
wild beasts. |
