About

Founded in 1180 by the Normans, this is Lecce's oldest church, hidden within the monumental cemetery beyond the centre. The original Romanesque portal coexists with baroque additions from the 18th century in a unique architectural synthesis. The cemetery itself is an open-air museum of funeral sculpture.
