Foresta Urbana di Lecce

Foresta Urbana di Lecce is a unique urban forest that was created by transforming abandoned pits and valleys into a lush green area.

It's a place rich in biodiversity, where you can admire rare lichen species of scientific interest. Thematic paths like 'Sentiero Vita,' 'La Pietra Racconta' and 'Suoni e Colori della Natura' allow you to explore the natural and historical heritage of the area.

There are plans to create 'simple gardens' and 'orchards of our grandparents' to promote the cultivation of medicinal plants and forgotten fruit trees.
