(Translated by Google) Interesting museum that offers paintings and various religious objects of exquisite workmanship dating back to the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. Some parts, especially on the mezzanine floor, were poorly lit and with hardly legible captions. However, it is worth a visit, also because the entrance is included in the ticket for the circuit of the most beautiful churches in Lecce. (Original) Interessante museo che offre dipinti e oggetti religiosi vari di pregevole fattura risalenti intorno ai secoli XVI e XVII. Alcune parti, specie al piano soppalcato, risultavano mal illuminate e con le didascalie difficilmente leggibili. Comunque vale la pena visitarlo, anche perché l'ingresso è compreso nel biglietto del circuito delle più belle chiese di Lecce.
