Church of the Gesu contributes greatly to the social and religious life of this place. It's a wonderful place to share a thought or prayer during a busy travel itinerary.
You'll be spoiled for sightseeing choice when in Lecce Historic Center. Church of the Gesu is an ideal place to begin here, but there are many other fine places to check out. Holy Cross Cathedral, Piazza del Duomo, and Roman Amphitheater are not far from the house of prayer and will top off your day nicely.
