The Faggiano Museum is a private historical - archaeological building located in the historic center of Lecce.
Everything and` born almost by chance in 2001, when the owner of the property, Luciano Faggiano, was forced to break the floors in order to change the sewer pipes that, being old, procured continuous humidity`to the walls.
It then continued with a restoration work carried out entirely by the Faggiano family with the supervision of the Superintendence of Archaeological Heritage of Taranto and under the guidance of architects Franco and Marie Antoinette De Paolis.
The excavations have given light to the remains of a wall structure, a circular tank, another very large cistern, a well 10 meters deep from which you can see the water of the river Idume and numerous ravines dug into rock.
Among the rock-hewn works you can admire a small child’s grave, a large common grave, a rock dryer used to decompose the dead, a stretch of underground road that connected the building to other sites.
