Lecce

Discover Lecce and its wonderful historic centre with Tivoli Hotels & Resorts.

This city in Puglia has a unique charm thanks to its Baroque buildings crafted from Lecce stone, most notably Piazza del Duomo and Piazza Sant’Oronzo, home to the Roman Amphitheatre. All of this sits within a medieval old town that reached its greatest architectural splendour between the 16th and 17th centuries, the period during which Lecce’s Baroque style flourished.

Just a few kilometres from Lecce, you can experience the so‑called “Caribbean of Puglia”, with beaches such as San Foca and Torre dell’Orso, renowned for their crystal-clear waters. Don’t miss the impressive rock formations of the Faraglioni di Sant’Andrea, a spectacular spot where the sea and the wind have sculpted dramatic cliffs.

After a day of sun and sea, be sure to savour traditional Mediterranean cuisine, famous for its time-honoured recipes made with fresh, carefully seasoned ingredients.
