Lecce-2
If Lecce is the Baroque King of Puglia then this would be its crown, the Lecce Cathedral or in Italian Cattedrale dell'Assunzione della Virgine lives in the center of Lecce in a compact closed on three side piazza that houses the Duomo, the bell tower and the Bishop’s residence.
The church was built in 1154 long before the Baroque period and the façade you see pictured here is actually not the front of the church but a side entrance that was added during the Baroque craze that captured Lecce’s heart, the front entrance of the church is all the way to the right in this picture.
The Duomo like most buildings of the city are built out of local limestone which is an attractive light orangey yellow color luckily enough it is both durably weather resistant and very easy to carve a very good thing as they is very little uncarved in Lecce making it a vision for lovers of architecture and art.
I took this on Sept 24, 2016 with my D750 and Nikon 24-85 f3.5-4.5 Lens at 24mm 1/80s f/18 ISO 900 processed in LR, PS +Lumenzia, Topaz , and DXO
