Interest

I love work as tourist guide in Brindisi, it’s a really beautiful city, amazing, and rich in art. Unfortunately the most important monument seems to be hidden, in my opinion if you do not have the guide you will not see anything. Brindisi has always been a city of passage where you do not stop. In recent years Brindisi has improved a lot, the Municipality has started to focus on tourism with the hope of being able to retain in the city the many groups that come to embark for Greece, and in part it is succeeding. The city also enjoys an excellent modern and functional airport. Too bad it is not possible to visit the two castles still used today as military bases.

Half day itinerary

Brindisi is a city full of interesting monuments that cover a time span of more than two millennia, from Roman times to fascism and beyond.
The city of the rest can boast of having been, even if for a brief moment and in circumstances far from happy, Capital of Italy.
The visit starts from Stazione Marittima. We admire the monument to the sailor to a head of the west breast and on the other side stands the famous column that once marked the end of the Via Appia, the most important  road of the Roman Empire.
We reach the Cathedral that we visit quickly, it is not in fact the most beautiful church of Brindisi, which is instead the Monastery of San Benedetto, formerly located outside the walls and today away from the historic center. Meanwhile, we pause to observe the so-called Loggia Balsamo, one of the very few examples of medieval civil architecture that has come down to us.
Quickly we reach the Museum of the Capitello, which will certainly surprise the visitor, as well as even more surprising will be the visit to the archaeological area of ​​San Pietro ai Schiavoni. Entering the historical center we reach the small church of San Giovanni al Sepolcro, without a doubt the most evocative monument of the city.
We are now out of town to discover another delight: the church of Santa Maria del Casale and its wonderful frescoes. If you have enough time, you can visit the Sailor Monument.
