Lecce is a town that I always wanted to visit since I saw
that a train I took originated there. I looked online that night about the
city, and thought that someday I’d like to visit. Well today was the day. Mom,
Erik and I headed down the coast for three and half hours, pulling into the Tre
Stelle (three star) Hotel Aloisi. This is the kind of place where we have to
leave the key with reception when we exit the hotel.
The city of Lecce is renowned for its Baroque style of art
and architecture, and to call the city’s sights ornate is really underselling
it. Now, there is not a lot to do here, and we pretty much saw everything in
half of a day, but the art and architecture are really worth the time to see.
