    Lecce

    October 13, 2021 in Italy ⋅ 🌙 12 °C

    Lecce is a beautiful Baroque town and we took a 2 hr tour in the morning where we saw many baroque churches with incredible rich detail. As with most Italian places, there are layers of history in Lecce and there is a Roman amphitheater underneath the city, partially excavated. We then took a good of Jewish quarter and Jewish museum, which opened only a few years ago, showing rich and forgotten history of the once flourishing Jewish population in Lecce. We then had delicious lunch at Coccina Mamma Elvira - fish and pasta with porcini mushrooms. And we also had local pastries filled with custard - super rich and yummy!Read more
