Visiting Lecce is just like that: an unexpected glimpse that enraptures and amazes you. And I'm not exaggerating! When I thought I had seen "everything", turning the corner and finding myself in front of the magnificent Basilica of Santa Croce was almost a blow to the heart (in the most positive sense there is). The finely decorated facade and the central rose window make this one of the most beautiful churches in the city, which you can visit by purchasing combined tickets with the Duomo on the website. Next to it is also the entrance to the Jewish Museum which allows you to discover both the history of the Jewish people in Salento and a part of the city's underground.
