The Church of St. Matthew and the Devil

The Church of San Matteo holds one of the most interesting curiosities about Lecce. The church is in Baroque style and is located in Via dei Perroni. But the interesting thing is that on the facade the columns of the lower order look different. The one on the right is half carved. Legend has it that the devil was envious of the beauty of the facade and as a punishment he killed the sculptor who was therefore unable to finish the work.
