One of Lecce’s most iconic architectural landmarks — Porta Napoli is a majestic city gate that once served as the ceremonial entrance to the city. Built in 1548 in honor of Emperor Charles V, the gate stands tall with its Corinthian columns, baroque sculptural details, and a commanding statue on top. The Latin inscription adds to its historical grandeur, reminding visitors of Lecce’s strategic importance in history. Walking through this gate feels like stepping back in time — the transition from the modern city into the charming old streets is nothing short of magical. An absolute must-see for architecture lovers, history buffs, and anyone wanting to experience the soul of Lecce.

St. Blaise Gate is one of three gates to Lecce's historical city centre. It was built in Baroque style over pre-existing medieval gate. Because of the rich Baroque architectural monuments found in the city, Lecce is commonly nicknamed "The Florence of the South". Lecce is perfectly well connected with Rome, and it takes 5 hours direct drive by the "Frecciargento" train.

Fantastic tour in Lecce. Antonella conducted a wonderful food tour in Lecce. The pace was easy. We were able to walk in the shade most of the time. As well as the interesting history and architecture, we stopped for delicious Leccese foods. Grazie Antonella. Bon lavoro. With Rosy smart city tour

Porta San Biagio, in viale Francesco Lo Re, nasce nel 1774 per sostituire il precedente accesso al nucleo urbano, voluto da Carlo V, che aveva previsto nel Cinquecento un rafforzamento delle mura urbiche e degli accessi per proteggere la città dagli attacchi esterni, in particolare a seguito delle invasioni turche. La quarta porta – Porta San Martino – demolita nell’Ottocento e di cui non resta più nessuna traccia, si apriva verso il lato nord della città, conducendo verso la vicina marina di San Cataldo.

Fu commissionata da Tommaso Ruffo, governatore di Terra d’Otranto, e nonostante sulla sua sommita capeggi la statua di Sant’Oronzo, patrono di Lecce, fu dedicata a San Biagio, Santo venerato sia dalla chiesa Cattolica che da quella Ortodossa.

In vita fu prima un medico e poi un vescovo che visse a Sebaste (in Armenia) tra il III ed il IV secolo. Nonostante l’editto romano che garantiva la liberarizzazione del culto religioso, San Biagio venne torturato con l’utilizzo di pettini di ferro e poi martirizzato per decapitazione, così come definì la sentenza del processo che lo vide protagonista e nel quale si rifiutò di rinnegare la sua religione. Dopo più di trecento anni dalla sua morte, una parte delle sue reliquie fu trasportata in Italia

L’arco è affiancato da doppie colonne laterali in stile dorico è sormontato dallo stemma di Ferdinando IV di Borbone e da quello della città di Lecce duplicato ai lati. Al di sopra della trabeazione si eleva il fastigio di coronamento che accoglie un'epigrafe commemorativa, in cui Tommaso Ruffo si straloda.

La scultura di san Biagio in abiti vescovili, completa l'ornamento...
