The parish centre San Giovanni Battista in Lecce represents one of the most eloquent works of modern architecture in Salento, the result of a fruitful collaboration amongst architects, artists and liturgists. The church is considered a landmark in the wide panorama of sacred architecture, marking it an important stepping stone in the history of modern and old architecture. The artworks conceived by Mimmo Paladino and Armando Marocco add further sacrality to the interior’s spatiality.
