    Impressive church - baroque style with tons of works over the columns. Great value on the family ticket: € 17,00 to visit the Duomo, Museo Diocesano; San Matteo, Santa Chiara and Santa Croce Church’s. Take your time and enjoy!!!!

    Buy the ticket - it gives you access to other gorgeous churches and the museum. QR code gives really detailed audio guide - multilingual and tells you so much about the city and it’s history.

    A delightfully eclectic and architectual surprise as you enter piazza, the church interior is artistically vibrant and stunning.

    Amazing baroque delight in Lecce! Located in a nice piazza, with tickets being sold nearby, in the information office. The family ticket is a value of money, and would recommend to get if you are not alone. *Tip: Look for the secret underground area (Photos posted but shhh)

    One of the most impressive cathedrals in Italy. Great square before the church and the details in ornaments is extraordinairy. A must see when you're in Lecce, the ticket is more than worth it. Make site you're dressed appropriately, especially when you're a woman.

    Lecce is a great place to visit, it has a beautiful old town with extraordinary churches and cathedrals, and a beautiful beach with clear blue water, 12 km away without any regular public transport to take you there! Oh, and all the churches have an entry fee, despite them being an in service church, and correct me if I'm wrong but shouldn't the house of God be open to everyone? And if you wish so you donate in the donation box? Like in every other church in the region (Bari, Monopoli, polignano a mare etc). well that's why the 2 stars

    A beautiful church, I loved those colorful windows, the entrance is for free 👍🏼

  • 4/5 Bruno C. 3 years ago on Google
    Impressive church. Tickets can be bought across the plaza in the tourism office.

  • 5/5 Diane A. 4 years ago on Google
    Over the top Baroque bounty in this lush and fabulous Duomo. The columns have climbing and clinging angels. The altars (there are many) are adorned with saintly sculptures and paintings. My favorite is the railings, complete with multicolored marbles. A true work of art. The downstairs contains some excavation and human remains as in bones and a skull. Oh my.

  • 1/5 Austin A. 1 year ago on Google
    The best thing about this church is... It is only a short walk to the Church of Saint Irene. Which is Amazing & FREE entry. Don't waste your money paying to going in here.

  • 5/5 Pasha 1 year ago on Google
    There is something mysterious and spooky about this cathedral🫣 the entry comes as part of your €9 ticket 🎫

  • 5/5 Zoltan H. 5 months ago on Google
    Amazing baroque church with a stunning interior design. The organist, Tonio Calabrese allowed us to stay at the organ loft during mass.

  • 5/5 Willy D. 6 months ago on Google
    A must-see, as much for its setting as the church itself. If you want to enter, you need to purchase a ticket that costs 6 Euro to enter the Cathedral, the Old Seminary, the Diocesan Museum, also the Basilica near it.

  • 5/5 Maria K. 9 months ago on Google
    It’s very amazing the baroque architecture. If you go there sit down and slowly appreciate each detail. The angels, birds and many details sculpted are incredible. The church is not too big. They have a package in the entrance can you can buy one entrance for all the churches or just one for this one.

  • 5/5 Espen S. 9 months ago on Google
    The biggest and best of the four churches you can visit with the 11 euro ticket. The level of hand crafts is beyond imagination. The crypt downstairs is worth the visit.

  • 4/5 Marios 7 months ago on Google
    Nice cathedral but the ticket only to the cathedral (6euros) does not worth it. However in the combination with the rest of the visit points is much better. You usually would spend around 20min and you can also visit the crypt underneath and see the bones of dead bishops etc.

    Beautiful cathedral, really worth to see
