What, another cathedral? Yup! Every city, town and village is full of them and so incredibly ornate, inside and out. Gallipoli is a gorgeous sea port and in the middle is the "old town".
Lunch in the square is always full of entertainment. Music is all around you !!!
Lecce's "Basilica di Santa Croce", has the most unusual facade of animals, cherubs, beasts and sculptures of people.The famous sculpture, Guiseppe Zimbalo has many works in the city. The interior is conventually "Renaissance".
Lecce is also known for the art of "paper mache".
More Roman ruins in the middle of the square which was just recently discovered by a construction company. This is a beautiful "Baroque Styled" city with some gorgeous upscale shops. One could do some serious damage to the credit card!
