€10-€80Lecce stone sculpture in Lecce
Small Lecce stone sculptures are handcrafted objects made from the same pale, golden limestone that characterizes many of the city’s monuments. The stone is soft and easy to work, a quality that allows artisans to carve very fine details: rose windows, putti, floral motifs, and small capitals inspired by local Baroque decoration. The most common pieces are decorative bas-reliefs, miniature architectural elements, or small ornamental objects. The warm color of the stone, ranging from beige to honey, immediately recalls the façades of the churches and palaces of the historic center.
