Within
a lunette, on the portal of the
little church next to the Sedile, one
finds the sculpted Venetian lion of
San Marco. According to the icono-
graphic tradition the Holy Bible is
located beneath the paws of the lion.
The Chapel was built in 1543, thanks to a rich colony of Venetian nobles and
merchants who settled in Lecce.

portal.
