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.
