The name Lequile is thought to have Roman roots, coming from the words ‘Le Aquile’ being pronounced in a way that blended the sounds into one word. Today, many of the farm lands that once surrounded the historic center have been abandoned, giving the landscape around Lequile a rather mysterious air and lots of room for hiking or exploring.

The town hub of Lequile is the Piazza San Vito, where the municipal building, a former palace, is found.

The Chiesa Matrice has a five story bell tower and a large cupola with a floor plan that includes six chapels inside. It was built in 1896 by the architect Russo di San Cesario.
