Description

The obelisk, Viale degli studenti, Lecce, Salentine Peninsula, Apulia, Italy

Lecce is a historic city in southern Italy, one of the most important cities of Apulia and over 2000 years old.
Lecce, sometimes called the Florence of the south because of its many baroque buildings, is the main city on Puglia's Salento Peninsula. Because of the soft limestone that's easy to work,
Lecce became the center for the ornate architecture called the barocco leccese and the city is filled with Baroque monuments.

The city's obelisk however, was erected in 1822 at the time when Ferdinand I of the Two Sicilies or Ferdinand of Bourbon came to visit the town.
