Visit Lecce, the 'Florence of the South' in Italy's Apulia region. Admire the Baroque architecture of the Basilica di Santa Croce (intricate facade with mythological figures and rose window) and the Roman amphitheater (2nd-century AD arena partially excavated in the main square). Explore the historic center's limestone buildings and try local specialties like pasticciotto (custard-filled pastry) and caffè leccese (iced coffee with almond milk).
