Details – Barocco Leccese
the effects of the elements has taken a toll on some of these work , but it still amazes what still survives given some of these are many centuries old (~17th)
Barocco Leccese : a form of art and architecture that developed in Salento and is characterized by gaudy decorations arches, garlands, swags, putti, natural elements, etc..

Lovely shot – Puglia is on my wishlist :)
Thanks Suzanne. Puglia has its own charm. also, assuming since you have seen more of North Italy, it will be something you can compare 1st hand
What impressive detail. I’d love to visit Puglia someday. What type of building does this adorn?
I believe these details are from a church but you don’t have to go searching, these motifs and details are omnipresent in the whole town of Lecce (pronounced lechhe)
Abu, it sounds as though my camera would be working non-stop. :) Looks like a beautiful city.
make sure you get extra batteries then.. it is very photogenic and very appealing, especially if architecture is one of your interests :)
Amazing Picture :)
Thanks !
