What you can expect

  • Discover the ancient art of Lecce stone, the iconic material of Lecce's Baroque architecture and one of the most authentic expressions of Salento's artisanal tradition. For centuries, this limestone has been used to create decorations, sculptures and architectural details that make the city unique.

    In this hands-on workshop, you'll have the opportunity to work with Lecce stone yourself, guided by a local master craftsman who will help you discover the traditional working techniques handed down over time.

    The experience takes place in the heart of Lecce's historic old town, just a short walk from the Basilica of Santa Croce, one of the most important examples of Lecce Baroque. After a short introduction to the history and characteristics of the stone, you will move on to the practical part, using the artisan's tools to shape your creation.

    Whether you're a beginner or a craft enthusiast, this workshop will allow you to enjoy an authentic and engaging experience, connecting with a tradition that is part of the cultural identity of the region.

    At the end of the activity, you will take home an item you have made yourself and a special memento of your experience in Lecce.
