Editing Lecce (section)

=== Other buildings ===
* Column of statue of St Oronzo: (Lecce's patron) was given to Lecce by the city of [[Brindisi]], because Saint Oronzo was reputed to have cured the plague in Brindisi. The column was one of a pair that marked the end of the [[Appian Way]], the main road between [[Rome]] and southern Italy.
* Torre del Parco ("Park Tower"): is one of the medieval symbols of Lecce. It was erected in 1419 by the then-18 year old [[Giovanni Antonio Del Balzo Orsini]], prince of Lecce. The tower, standing at more than {{convert|23|m|ft}}, is surrounded by a ditch in which bears (the heraldic symbol of the Orsini del Balzo) were reared. The whole complex was the seat of Orsini's tribunal and of a mint, and after Giovanni Antonio's death, it became a residence for the Spanish viceroys.
* Palazzo Sedile: was built in 1592 and was used by the local council until 1852.
* [[Castle of Charles V]]: built in 1539–49 by Gian Giacomo dell'Acaja. It has a trapezoidal plan with angular bastions. It is attached to the Politeama Greco Opera House, inaugurated on 15 November 1884.
* Triumphal Arch (''Arco di Trionfo'', commonly called ''Porta Napoli'', "Neapolitan Gate"), which is one of the three gates to enter Lecce's historical city centre, erected in 1548 in honor of Charles V. It replaced an older gate, ''Porta S. Giusto'', which, according to tradition, lay over the tomb of the namesake saint. Also built over pre-existing medieval gates are the current ''Porta San Biagio'' ("St. Blaise Gate") and the ''Porta Rudiae'' which are the other two gates to Lecce's Historical city centre. Both are in Baroque style, the latter having the statue of St. Oronzo on the top and mythological figures on the sides.
* Palazzo dei Celestini: now seat of the Province of Lecce. It was built in 1659–95 and designed by [[Giuseppe Zimbalo]].
* The city's obelisk: erected in 1822 in honour of [[Ferdinand I of the Two Sicilies]].
