Lonely Planet review for Colonna di Sant'Oronzo

Beside the sunken arena of the Roman amphitheatre rises the Colonna di Sant'Oronzo, a copperplate statue of Lecce's patron saint perched precariously on the second pillar of the Appian Way. It was supposedly donated to the city of Lecce as a sign of thanks to Sant'Oronzo (Lecce's patron saint) for saving Brindisi from the plague in 1656.
