Best Hotels Near Basilica di Santa Croce Lecce
The Basilica di Santa Croce is Lecce's most exuberant architectural masterpiece, its facade a riot of baroque ornament carved in the soft local limestone — a tumultuous composition of cherubs, garlands, mythological creatures, and floral swirls that took nearly 150 years to complete between 1549 and 1695. The warm golden colour of the pietra leccese gives the carving an almost organic quality that changes with the light throughout the day. Hotels near the Basilica di Santa Croce are in the most architecturally concentrated part of Lecce's historic centre.
