While in Lecce be sure to visit the Church of Sant’Irene, a 17th-century marvel with an interior as opulent as its magnificent façade. It is dedicated to the former patron saint of the city and contains an eclectic range of ornate ecclesiastical relics and works of art. Stand back and admire the pillars and niches of the lavish frontage. Make out the Latin engravings in the middle section of the façade, making sure to look to the upper part which shows off an arched window and an imposing pediment. The main portal is crowned by a statue of St. Irene that was crafted by sculptor Mauro Minieri in 1717\. Pass beneath it and you’ll find yourself in the nave, which has a Latin cross layout. Stop by its three side chapels to see the spiral columns and a painted replica of a famous Giudo Reni artwork. Study the intricacies of the *Transport of the Holy Ark* painting by Lecce artist Oronzo Tiso in the apse before making your way to the altar dedicated to St. Gaetano da Tiene. Admire the various other altarpieces, such as the Altar of St. Stephen, which is crowned by important artistic works. Learn the history of the church, which was first built in 1591\. St. Irene of Lecce was the city’s patron saint until 1656, when St. Orontius was venerated by the pope. In 1797, the church was visited by King of Naples Ferdinand IV of Bourbon. Step outside the church and have a drink on the terrace of the adjacent café while taking in the views of the church. Watch people go by and spend some time browsing the shops within the historic buildings lining the pedestrian avenues. The Church of Sant’Irene is in the heart of the Lecce historic center. Travel by train to the Lecce railway station and walk north for a little more than 20 minutes to get here. Explore the majestic surroundings for such highlights such as the Arco di Prato, the Piazzetta Panzera and the Jewish Museum Lecce. ### Tours & day trips [See all 100
