The air in Lecce smells of warm stone and strong coffee . You arrive in the old centre and you see two colors : pale gold and deep cream . The buildings are old and very beautiful . They were built between 1600 and 1700 . Local workers cut the stone by hand . The stone is called pietra leccese . It is soft and easy to cut . That is why the buildings have so many flowers and faces carved into them . Walk to the Basilica di Santa Croce . Stand close to the front wall . You can see angels , leaves , and strange animals in the stone . The church took more than 100 years to build . Now go to Piazza del Duomo . The square is quiet in the morning . The cathedral stands on one side . It has a tall bell tower , 70 metres high . From the top , the whole city looks gold in the sun . In the late afternoon , buy a pasticciotto . It is a small pastry with cream inside . It costs about 1 euro 50 . Carry that taste home with you .
