Abstract

GPR surveys were carried out in the Baroque Cathedral of Lecce and in its crypt built in the 12th cent. and transformed in the 16th and 17th centuries. The investigations highlighted the presence of many unknown structures under the floor of the church. Some of them could be belong to the previous building of the Romanesque period, while most of the anomalies are related to tombs and underground chambers (ossuaries) located under the floor of the Baroque church. Moreover, six tombs of the 19th and 20th centuries and other ancient structures were documented under the crypt floor.
