The Florence of the south: Lecce’s baroque splendour Palazzo Lecce is at the heart of EPOCA Collection’s offerings, a beautifully restored noble residence in the vibrant city of Lecce, often referred to as the ‘Florence of the south’. This historic building, transformed in 2021 by skilled Apulian craftsmen, seamlessly blends its aristocratic past with contemporary design. Guests staying at Palazzo Lecce are just
steps away from the city’s renowned baroque architecture, ornate churches and art galleries. The palazzo’s central location allows visitors to explore Lecce’s labyrinthine streets easily, where every corner reveals a new architectural marvel or a hidden piazza bustling with local life. Witness the art of ‘cartapesta’ in Lecce. This
centuries-old craft is uniquely associated with the city and visitors can see artisans creating intricate sculptures and decorations in local workshops. The delicate yet durable creations serve as perfect souvenirs, encapsulating the artistic spirit of Lecce.
