This museum is so interesting and is a must if you are in Lecce. There is no charge but you will want to leave a donation as it is such an fascinating building.

Certainly this trip to Italy has had some interesting moments and one such was yesterday at the Faggiano Museum in Lecce, a brilliant, small museum, totally unlike any as I've ever seen before and fascinating as it was by chance that it's long history was discovered not too many years ago when some remodeling was done that led to significant discoveries dating the house's origins back 2000 years. [It came to my attention as a result of its being prominently praised on TripAdvisor.com as a place not to be missed. I agree.] In this photo collection from the museum's site: http://www.museofaggiano.it/fotogallery.html, look for the light that is suspended over the top of a long hole into the ground. It's there on the first page of photos. You won't have to go trolling. It's quite obvious. That is a picture of a "dead drier". That is to say, it was used to dry the dead. NOTE: English speakers, if you do not speak Italian, do not worry. You will be provided a "paint by the numbers" pamphlet with English so you can wonder your way through. CAUTION: There are several levels to the display. You will need climb and descend and if you have small children with you, this is not a good site to visit with children, in my opinion. You may worry more about their safety and whereabouts and unable to relax and enjoy this site. If you are elderly and unsure of your footing, similarly, use caution. Returning to the "dead dryer", it was a ghoulish thought but practical wisdom was in play at a time so many centuries back when this property was actually a nunnery at some period in its 2000 years of history. On the death of a nun, she would be suspended upside down, and lowered deep into the shaft, blood drained from her body into a little stream below. In summary, this was a fascinating find, totally unexpected, and just goes to show why TripAdvisor's contributors offer insights normally many of us would miss. Certainly I would have missed this one but for TripAdvisor.

We passed the museum several times without entering. Luckily we met the son of the owner and he told us the story of how the museum came about, and we immediately went and loved the place. The Museo Faggiano is unique and don't miss it!

Incredible--could have spent all day there. An old family house that uncovered layers of ruins that will amaze you. You can wander around to your heart's content and keep finding new things to look at. Hidden away in a "residential" area but well worth the search.

I read about this museum online and thought that it sounded really interesting but unless you know a bunch about the history and/or about architecture you find that you expected to see more inside. The rooftop is cool but I wouldn't say the best view in the city unless you like to see a lot of roofs and antennas.

An unexpected and unusual place to visit. Hidden behind an ordinary looking house front is a treasure trove of archeological findsWell worth a visit, and not like any other museum that I have seen.

This is one of the very interesting sites of Puglia. Evidence of Cellar Rooms, silos, granary, tombs, gravesand underground walkways, recovered during the restoration.

A very charming and quirky little museum. Parts of this old building have been conserved in order to expose a very interesting history of not just the building itself but also of the site upon which the current building is standing. A very charming and helpful lady greeted me and though we didn't speak the same language she was very enthusiastic in guiding me to some of the features. The entrance fee was very low, just a couple of euros.

2,000 years of history in what looks like a normal Lecce house. This family run museum shows the ruins of a convent that was only discovered when renovations to the house were undertaken. Well worth a visit.

This family run museum is a great discovery. Millenary strata of history can be found and it was an amazing experience to do. Highly recommended
