One of the most underrated Italian cities by foreign tourists can boast the nickname "Florence of the South" thanks to its architectural and natural beauties. Lecce, in Apulia, amazes visitors with its abundance of baroque architecture and cultural offerings.
As soon as one crosses the threshold of the city, you feel immersed in a magical and evocative atmosphere, made up of narrow alleys and ancient buildings with ornate facades. The small city has also earned the nickname "Lady of the Baroque" as it is home to some of the finest examples of the 17th-century architectural style.
