It is also called Piazza Trecentomila because in 1956, during the 'International Eucharistic Congress', about three hundred thousand people gathered to attend the event. It has always been the square for demonstrations and cultural gatherings in Salento. A series of trees surrounds the outer perimeter while in the center stands a large stone fountain. It is the true center of Lecce shopping: here you will find the most fashionable shops in the city.
