A walking tour in to discover the vibrant historic city center of Lecce (called the Florence of the South thanks to the city's abundance of architectural gems and culture; included in the tentative list of Unesco as Wolrd Heritage Site; listed by Lonely Planet in the top ten of the cities to visit). An itinerary through the history of Lecce (from the Roman domination to the baroque architecture), its monuments (churches, palaces, squares, castle, amphitheatre), artisans (papier-machè, stone carving, ceramics, ateleries of clothing and accessories, etc. ) and flavors. You can't miss Lecce if you like to understand our culture and way of living: it's so rich in history, architecture, shopping opportunities and evertything is walking distance. I love Lecce and I have spent more than 20 years working as tour guide, nature and interpretive guide, wine and olive oil sommelier: I'll help you to explore, taste and feel this amazing art city.
The walking tour of the city includes the most important monuments: - the ancient city gates (Napoli, S. Biagio and/or Rudiae); - the baroque architecture of the noble palaces (Carafa, Adorno, Marrese, Palmieri-Guarini, etc. ), the Duomo and its stunning square, the Celestini palace and the astonishing facade of the Basilica di S. Croce and some other churches (S. Irene, S. Matteo, S. Chiara); - the Roman Theatre, Sant'Oronzo square and the Roman Amphitheatre. If you like we can also enjoy: - artisan workshops and ateliers with papier-maché, clothing and accessories, unique niche perfumes; - food tour: food daily market, cooking class, tastings of olive oil, wine, cheese, charcuterie, taralli, ice cream, coffee at an artisanal roasting bar, the traditional rustico and pasticciotto; - eclectic liberty style villas; - a visit to the interior of an aristocratic palace with an Italian garden; - the unique Faggiano Museum with more than 2. 000 years of history discovered by chance; - the Jewish heritage.
