The Heart of Lecce: The Cathedral of Maria Santissima Assunta
Lecce Cathedral · Lecce, Italy
When you step into the Piazza del Duomo, you’ll immediately see why the Cathedral of Maria Santissima Assunta and Saint Orontius (the Duomo di Lecce) is the city's pride and joy. Unlike a lot of cathedrals that have one main, flashy entrance, this one has a secondary facade that’s arguably just as impressive, which makes the whole square feel like an exclusive outdoor theater designed just for you. The vibe here is more of a dazzling celebration of art but it also feels like a space where the city’s heart really beats.
