Specchia (Lecce)

Specchia, in the province of Lecce, is one of the Most Beautiful Villages in Italy of Salento.

To the visitor who, in silence and solitude, ventures into the village, they will speak - wrote Antonio Penna - "the simple and composed Catalan or Baroque portals, the Lecce stone frames, the inscriptions in Italian or Latin, the corbels of the balconies projected onto the streets, the wrought iron loggias, the hanging arches, which still adorn the facades of once noble houses , the friezes, the statues, the columns, the votive shrines with sacred images faded by time".

Located in a strategic position overlooking the pinaura below, the historic center of Specchia is considered one of the most interesting in Salento.
