Lecce 주요 관광지

Roman Amphitheatre Free

💡 Walk to the far end of the piazza near the Roman column for the best overhead view. If you want to go down, the small entry fee is €3 — worth it for the close-up of the stone seats.

Roman Amphitheatre Free

💡 Entry is free from the street level—don't pay for the underground tour unless you're a Roman history buff. Come at sunset when the stone glows warm.

Porta Napoli and city ramparts Free

💡 Walk west along the walls for 200 metres to a small park with benches – good picnic spot with a view over the olive groves.

Basilica di Santa Croce Free

💡 Visit late afternoon when the sun hits the facade — the stone carvings of animals and saints pop. Skip the paid museum inside unless you're a dedicated art historian.

Chiesa di Santa Chiara Free

💡 Step inside during weekday mornings — it's often empty. The 18th-century altar is a stunner and gets overlooked by tourists rushing to the bigger churches.

Piazza del Duomo Free

💡 Come in the early morning before 9am—nobody else is around. The cathedral's interior is free to enter, and the bell tower climb costs €5 but gives panoramic views.

Basilica di Santa Croce Free

💡 Visit late afternoon, around 4–5pm, for the best light on the stone carvings without the morning tour crowds.

Piazza del Duomo Free

💡 Come at dusk when the cathedral lights up and the crowds thin. The cathedral itself is free to enter, but check mass times for access to the side chapels.
