| Basilica di Santa Croce, Lecce |
Built on land formerly occupied by banished Jews, construction of this church took over 200 years to complete. The facade is richly decorated, featuring marvelous creatures, cherubs and mythical beasts, which were created under the guidance of Giuseppe Zimbalo; there’s also a magnificent rose window. Inside, the church is formed in the Latin cross plan and features no fewer than seventeen altars.
