Palazzo Vescovile

Right across from Lecce's cathedral, Palazzo Vescovile is a 15th-century baroque palace that once housed Neapolitan royalty — and it still carries that quiet sense of importance. A bit of a hidden gem, it's kept alive by a passionate group of volunteers who'll make sure you actually understand what you're looking at, from its elegant arched loggia to delicate watercolor decorations restored with real care.
