Touring Lecce's Historic Center in Puglia ITALY | Breathtaking Baroque Architecture 🇮🇹 

When I stayed for a summer in Puglia many years ago, I thought Lecce was the most beautiful city! I, too, was one of the few people that spoke English in the area!

Love the video, am planning on looking for a place to live there and this might be the place to go. Thanks for narrowing it down for me.

I was born and raised in South Philly and Camden County, New Jersey. I've been living in Lecce for the last 37 years and every time I walk through the city Center I am amazed at the history. Lecce is actually 3 cities built upon each other. The original Messapic town was called "Rudiae". This was overbuilt in the Roman Era and called "Lupiae" (The same symbol of the She-Wolf that is found in Roman tradition), and the last town "Lecce" is a dialectic word meaning "Pin Oak" in English, which was a common species of tree from the area. If you look at the crest of the city, you'll find these symbols reflected. Nice video!

I visited Lecce some years ago, as my daughter ‘s husband is from Puglia, and it is truly beautiful!! Loved it❤

thanks for the vlog, we are looking to see where we want to be for retirement
