Lecce Cathedral, dedicated to the Assumption of the Virgin, was rebuilt from 1659 by Giuseppe Zimbalo for Bishop Luigi Pappacoda on Piazza del Duomo. Its richer Baroque facade faces the square from the side, framed by a triumphal arch and crowned by a statue of Saint Oronzo, and its five-storey bell tower stands beside the bishop's palace and the seminary.
The Basilica of Santa Croce is a Baroque church in Lecce, begun in 1549 and finished in 1695 by a succession of local architects including Gabriele Riccardi, Francesco Antonio Zimbalo, Cesare Penna and Giuseppe Zimbalo. Its facade of soft Lecce stone is carved with animals, grotesque figures, atlantes and a large rose window.
The Castle of Charles V is a fortress on the east side of Lecce's old town, built around a 12th-century core and enlarged from 1537 for Emperor Charles V by the military architect Gian Giacomo dell'Acaya, with a curtain wall and four corner bastions. It now holds municipal cultural offices, exhibitions and a papier-mâché museum.
The Abbey of Santa Maria di Cerrate is a former monastery of Greek-rite Basilian monks in the countryside north of Lecce, founded between the late 11th and early 12th century. Its Romanesque church has a side portico and medieval frescoes; after a pirate raid in 1711 the complex became a farm, and the FAI has run it since 2012.
