Brindisi and Lecce - Roman and Barocco Half Day Tour

Lecce, sometimes called the Florence of the South, is the main city on southern Puglia's Salento Peninsula and one of the top places to go in Puglia. Because of the soft limestone that's easy to work, Lecce became the center for the ornate architecture called the Barocco Leccese and the city is filled with Baroque monuments. Brindisi, a beautiful port city, with important evidence of the period of ancient Rome, when Brindisi was nicknamed the Rome of the Adriatic Sea. Also important are the traces of its past during the time of the Crusades and the presence in the city of the Order of the Templars. Lecce is a very elegant city, to which I am very attached for having spent many years during my studies. Brindisi is a city where the presence of the sea gives unique atmospheres and colors. I live exactly halfway between Lecce and Brindisi. They are places that I have always frequented assiduously and to which I am very attached.
