Lecce - Patria Palace, Cartapesta, La Torre di Merlino
14 Sept 2013- Lecce, the beautiful and also a busy town among all the towns that i have been in this trip, and let me count, alright, we have visited 8 towns in 5 days, and each town giving its unique baroque architecture buildings, and fun tourism.
Lecce is one important town in Apulia/Puglia, especially it gives you lots of more historial architecture confection of palaces and churches.
This is a good website info about Lecce tourism - http://www.leccenelsalento.it/
Gianni had arranged this beautiful fine hotel for us to stay - Hotel Patria Palace Lecce - MGallery Collection. it is a 5-star hotel, and yes, I agreed no more.
*However, the facebook is not active at all. And when I googled, it direct me to another cake shop name, funny.
And so, we sat down, and Gianni and the host suggested good food as per below:
Buratta cheese
Pasta, but I remembered that I don't really like this.
La Parmigiana e Melanzane - delicious eggplants with tomato, mozzarella & parmesan cheese
Now, this one...oh my god...seeing this, make me feel scared to eat cheese....see so many cheeses for you to choose!
We took a group photo together.
Standing tall is Colonna Di S. Oronzo, saying hello to us, 29 meters away from us.

Address: Piazza Sant'Oronzo, Lecce LE
Lots of people lock their love in Lecce, aiks, if only I could join the fun as well...but we were rushing....well, guess I can only play with the lock back at home, boring...
At the same time, Lecce is having a grand Pope event in the church.
We managed to see Porta Napoli, a monument located in Piazzetta Arco di Trionfo, Lecce LE. See how big the door was?
This is Chiesa di San Niccolò dei Greci.

Choo choo...here come the cute tour train....
I like this 'la Casa dell Artiaianato Leccese' shop, as Lecce is famous with all the clay doll and arts.
Lecce is famous with doing all this handmade paper-marche souvenirs.
Bought myself a lovely pair of earrings, made of light papers!
And we stopped by La Torre di Merlino for our dinner. I tell you this place is full, packed with people, and everyone don't mind waiting for the food.
Saw people rated 4 stars out of 5 from the internet, this shows how great the food was.
