Lecce (Puglia)

Lecce is a historic city in southern Italy, the capital of the province of Lecce, as well as one of the most important cities of Apulia. It is the main city of the Salentine Peninsula, a sub-peninsula at the heel of the Italian Peninsula and is over 2,000 years old. Because of the rich Baroque architectural monuments found in the city, Lecce is commonly nicknamed "The Florence of the South". The city also has a long traditional affinity with Greek culture going back to its foundation.

What others are saying about Puglia

Hello, I was hoping someone may be able to assist with sourcing a company who specialise in doors and windows in Solento, Puglia. We have been slowly improving the holiday property and now is the time to change shutter doors.
