Lecce is a baroque town built of sandy limestone. The Palazzo Marrese and Palazzo Palmieri dominate the baroque cityscape. The decorations below the iron balconies are worth seeing.

Palazzo Palmieri, today consisting of about fifty perfectly restored rooms, became famous primarily for the fact that within its walls Giovanni Boccaccio wrote 'Il Decamerone' (a literary work which, incidentally, was included in the 'Index of Forbidden Books' in 1559).
