Salento is a peaceful land full of history and traditions,
whose strong points are its natural and architectural beauties, its
hospitality, its magic atmosphere, its several wonders to discover, its warm
sun, its blue sky, its crystal sea and its dreamlike coast.
Among the architectural beauties the Barocco is present in all of Salento,
this itinerary touches the main locations that have Baroque monuments.
Departure from ALIMINI to
LECCE, the city known as the “Florence of
southern Italy”.
Visit to Piazza S. Oronzo occupied by the Roman
Amphitheatre and where there is the column dedicated to the saint, the

S. Maria delle Grazie, the church of S. Irene or the Theatine
church, the Cathedral, the Bishop's palace, the Seminary building,
the church of S. Croce, the Celestine palace and Charles V's castle.
