Santa Teresa, Baroque church in central Lecce, Italy
The Santa Teresa Church displays two architectural orders with Corinthian columns, festoons, and stone statues of Saint John the Baptist and Saint Evangelist.
Built between 1620 and 1630 by architect Giuseppe Zimbalo, the church stands on the former location of two chapels dedicated to San Nicola and Santa Venera.
The interior features a Latin cross layout with side chapels covered by oval domes, displaying numerous religious artworks and a wooden choir section.
