Abstract

Within the project for the restoration of thenorthern section of the sixteenth-century city walls ofLecce, a team of researchers of CNR-IBAM carriedout in 2014 and 2015 geophysical surveys aimed at thestudy and the reconstruction of the moat outside thefortifications. The use of GPR method allowed todetect anomalies related to the main ditch outside thecity walls and to characterize the rocky bank in whichit was excavated; at the time of the surveys, this ditchwas still buried and the results of the geophysicalmeasurements directed the works for its excavation.As well as investigations have allowed to identify alsoother possible ditches or quarries and more ancientstructures, which subsequent archaeologicalexcavations have dated at the Medieval and Romanperiods. Moreover, geophysical surveys highlightedthe presence of modern walls, corresponding with thefoundations of the stadium built in the 1920s close tothe city walls.
