Patria Palace Hotel, Piazzetta Riccardi 13, I-73100 Lecce, Apulia, Italy.
The prestious five-star Patria Palace Hotel enclosed in a princely palace, built in the 17th century and has recently been completely renovated.
Lecce, known in the past as "Caput Apuliae" is still today the capital of the baroque.
The plasticity of Lecce stone, which is extremely ductile and friable has permitted the creation of masterpieces of art absolutely unique. In fact, even though the buildings, the facade of the churches and the altars inside them are richly decorated, they are always of oustanding beauty. The recurrent presence of fruits, flowers, anthropomorphisms and mythological references in the delicate carvings that grow upon the architectural structures of the town recall the ancient myths and legends that are an integral part of Salentine folklore. Already in 1160 the Abbey of S.Nicola di Casole, where a great number of precious medieval manuscripts were preserved, housed the first college in Europe. Present day Lecce is like a stage, a fan of stone which and your eyes rove over bas-reliefs, statues of saints, zoomorphic and anthropomorphic caryatids, griffins, winged horses, putti and large flower and fruit trophies. Baroque architecture in Lecce, ignored what makes baroque baroque, that is the relationship between interior and exterior since it did not follow the late Renaissance spatial adjustments.
The Patria Palace Hotel is a prestigious hotel enclosed in a princely palace built in the 17th century and it has been restored by master artisans, who preserved its original architectural and artistic beauty while adding all the modern comfort. The hotel is situated in the city centre of Lecce, a provincial centre in Apulia, only 16 kilometers from the Adriatic Coast.
