duomo di lecce

Walking in the street you would not expect to find a magnificent place like this the church also is a pics of artNote church open at 4-5 pm or 10 am

The interior of the duomo is somewhat dull compared with other churches in Lecce, but its location the its private square is astonishing: the architecture is wonderful.

Very beautiful church. Especially after dark. The lights really add a lot of grandur to it.So try to visit at night.A special Capella painted in blue is very very beautiful.

I am not a lover of baroque architecture, I prefer something less ornate, unless it is Byzantine.. I was not expecting to like this Cathedral but it was totally enchanting. I was quiet overwhelmed by it , it is very very beautiful but Rococo, it has a wonderful unity. One should not miss it.

I have an opinion that most of baroque churches in Lecce (there are 43...) are much more appelaing when looked from the outside than inside The dome and its square are simply unique

Beautiful architecture set in a charming square. A great place for photos and a nice meeting place. A must-see in Lecce.

The duomo is situated in a pretty square just off one of the main streets in the historical centre. The square makes the duomo look majestic, especially on a sunny day. Inside is equally impressive with the beautiful sculptures and paintings. It's just a pity that the bell tower is currently closed to visitors due to reconstruction works. I hope that it opens soon.

i visited there twice.. during the day and at night.. there is a big difference between the two and i recommend to every one to do so..during the day its alive - a lot of people, blue sky, shadows on the buildingsat night - everything is light up.. very beautiful!

Get the walking tour to get the story. Big open square, originally designed to hold the entire population of the area, flanked by a beautiful architecture: A tall bell-tower (tallest structure in Lecce), a cathedral, the bishops residence and a seminary.

I just loved seeing the Dome, as well as walking around in the historical center of Lecce. Only a few cars driving past (Italian style, watch out!), nice little restaurants and bars with tasty food.....I loved it and will do my best to go back...I enjoy walking around and just getting the feeling of places, I did like this one.

Lovely, well worth a visit, very beautiful carvings and statues. Small compared with other Cathedrals we have visited in Italy

The Duomo is located in a beautiful baroque square, only accessible through a quite narrow space between two buildings. The peculiarity of the Church is its "fake facade" that gives you the illusion to be entering by the principal door of the church.. and once you're in, you realize you actually entered from a secondary door.

An astounding building both inside, outside and underneath. I was suffering post traumatic church disorder by the time I got here, however, it is such a dramatic building I was completely recovered by the time I left. The crypt is a highlight.

The duomo was a little disappointing when compared to the other baroque churches in Lecce and other duomo's in Italy generally having visited many before, yet it retained a quaint charm and sits within the piazza well. Definitely worth a visit on a tour of Lecce.

Looks wonderful at night for photos very impressive.In June not too crowded and it is tucked away so go to tourist info to get local street plan
