Churches - CHRIST OF THE
DOMINICANS
In the area of Porta
Lecce (close by the ancient wall of the town) there
is the Church of Christ.
The church was built
by the Domenicans in 1232 and has an evocative facade
made by alternating white and red stones.
It has a magnificent
external rose-window with sixteen columns.
Inside there are a
statue of the Virgin with "Lux Mundi"
and a wooden cross, both from the XIII century,
and several barocco alters.
