Roman Theater, Lecce

 A major oversight was not seeing the Roman theatre. I saw this postcard, but since the monument wasn't identified, I thought it was also part of the amphitheater and didn't know there was still a theatre there. I should have studied the itinerary better...




San Matteo Church, Lecce

 We passed so many churches that I'm not sure if we went by this one, but I remember that in front of another one we ate a typical sweet called Pasticciotto, which is delicious!




Lecce Cathedral

 The cathedral is also amazing and despite the heat, the city is quite walkable which is good for seeing all the monuments.




Basilica of the Holy Cross, Lecce

 The Basilica of the Holy Cross is probably the most amazing monument of the city




Roman Amphitheater, Lecce

  Parts of the Roman amphitheater are covered by other buildings and Piazza Sant'Oronzo




Roman Amphitheater, Lecce

 We took a day to visit Lecce, and once again, we were not disappointed.

Chiesa del Cristo, Brindisi

 But there are many interesting monuments in Brindisi besides those that are part of the Appian Way.
