Itinerary

1. Bastione San Giacomo
The bastion is dedicated to St. James, the patron saint of Spain and has been used for various purposes over the centuries. After losing its military function, it was used as a public slaughterhouse, oil depot and customs house.
2. Castello Federiciano
It was built by order of Emperor Frederick II, who created the original nucleus. This building, also called “earth castle”, is the second in chronological order of the four historic castles of Brindisi.
3. Tempio di San Giovanni al Sepolcro
The church of San Giovanni al Sepolcro, or church of the Holy Sepulchre, was built by the religious order of the Canons Regular of the Holy Sepulchre before 1128, the year in which the first document mentioning its existence appears.
Duration: 20 mins
4. Area Archeologica di San Pietro degli Schiavoni
The name of the archaeological area derives from the presence, starting from the mid-fifteenth century, of a community of Slavs, mainly Greeks and Albanians, who settled in this area since the sixteenth century and founded a settlement with the church of San Pietro at its centre, of which today no material traces remain.
Duration: 20 mins
5. Cattedrale di San Giovanni Battista
The construction of the Cathedral symbolized the rebirth of the city, supported by the Normans as part of their expansion towards the east. Brindisi quickly recovered its role as an important commercial hub towards the east, becoming an essential transit point for those traveling from Rome to Jerusalem.
Duration: 20 mins
6. Museo Archeologico Francesco Ribezzo
The Provincial Archaeological Museum of Brindisi, named after Francesco Ribezzo, a scholar of the Messapian civilization of the territory, was part of the Library-Museum Center of Brindisi, administered by the Puglia Region and was founded in 1884. The collections on display cover various thematic sections, including antiquarian, epigraphic and statuary, prehistoric, Messapian, Roman and underwater archaeology.
Duration: 30 mins
7. Via Colonne, 53
The Roman columns of Brindisi are considered one of the symbols of the city. The origins of the Roman columns of Brindisi are the subject of three main hypotheses. The most accredited theory suggests that they were erected around 110 AD at the behest of the emperor Trajan and that they represented the terminals of the historic Appian Way.
Duration: 10 mins
8. Monumento a Virgilio
This staircase that connects the historic center of the city with the seafront was named after the famous poet Virgil of the 1st century BC. We'll discover the connection between the city and the poet!
Duration: 10 mins
9. Viale Regina Margherita
The Lungomare Regina Margherita in Brindisi is one of the areas, in my opinion, most beautiful for a walk in the city, offering a panoramic view of the sea and the port.
Duration: 15 mins
10. Monument to the Italian Sailor
After the end of the First World War, many Italian cities built monuments to commemorate the fallen soldiers. A monumental celebration was also planned for the sailors, with several cities such as La Spezia, Trieste and Venice that applied to host the work. And what about Brindisi? Let's discover it!
