Lecce Cortili Aperti

2025 Edition - The 30th Anniversary

The 2025 edition of Lecce Cortili Aperti took place on Sunday, May 25, from 10:00 to 13:00 and 16:30 to 20:30, celebrating the thirty years of the event. Thirty spaces in the Salento historic centre were opened, including residences, historic sites, courtyards, gardens, entrance halls, and cloisters normally closed to the public.

Among the novelties of the thirtieth edition were the opening of Palazzo Pio (morning only) and Palazzetto Bensanti, and for the first time, a guided walk outside the walls, also in English, organized by the Virgilio-Redi high school, from Porta San Biagio to the Fontana dell'Armonia. The well-established program offered concerts, exhibitions, guided tours, and performances throughout the day, accompanied by the "Artigianato d'eccellenza 2025" exhibition hosted in the former Teatini convent.
