Impressive baroque church with an inventive roof! It was a shame the grumpy attendant (probably because he had to repeat to 90% of the people who approached that he didn't sell tickets, please give him a sign explaining this, someone!) watched TV on his phone in the church while we looked round - spoiled the atmosphere somewhat.

This is one of the churches you can visit if you purchase the “LeccEcclesie” pass, but you can’t purchase it at the church. I echo earlier comments about the attendant, who was the only unpleasant person we met in Lecce.
There are several beautiful side chapels.

As part of the combined ticket - yes, assuming you are interested in Lecce baroque. Otherwise definitely not worth the single entry of EUR 7.-.

From the outside one would wonder why to pay the extra to visit compared to the Duomo/San Croce price. The compactness though gives one a central view of 16-17th century ecclesiastical decoration, the big names don’t match. It’s no Sistine Chapel, but the side chapels decoration are amazing.

The Baroque churches of Lecce merit much more than a quick a glance: look attentively to see the adventurous angles and dramatic facades that have made this city so famous.

The highlights of this church are the statues, not stone or wood, but papier mache. It is interesting but needs some restoration.

Construction of this church started in 15th century but it was finished at the end of 17th century. Located on a small square, the nice facade is inviting you inside. There you will find another example of Lecce baroque style - richly decorated with animated spiral columns full of birds, angels, swirls, scrolls, garlands, sculptures and more. Large main altar is the culmination.

Rather unusual, this baroque church has a single octagonal nave - a more intimate setting than the wide other baroque churches in Lecce. Look at the ceiling - it's papier-maché. Worth a stop once you are in the downtown centre.

Very ornate carvings similar to the Basilica although the wooden roof is not in such good condition. Entry to the church is with a multi-ticket which includes the basilica.
