Duomo di Lecce
On the South side of Piazza del Duomo, the cathedral (Duomo) is a wonderful example of baroque style. Most of the cathedral was designed by Giuseppe Zimbalo and it was completed in 1689. Separate from the cathedral on the east side of the piazza is the duomo bell tower. Ride the lift up 43 metres for spectacular 360° views.
