Alessano
Lecce · Italy
A modest town in the lower Salento peninsula of Apulia with an unusual concentration of historic churches for its size, Alessano was once a diocesan seat and county capital with regional authority over the Capo di Leuca area — a role it held until 1818. The compact centre has cafés and restaurants, and the coastal locality of Marina di Novaglie is a short drive away.
