Brindisi Walking Tour: The most important Roman Empire port

This guided tour will begin at the scenic seafront in Brindisi, where you can admire the Roman Columns, symbol of the city and final point of the Appian Way. The two marble columns once marked the entrance to the harbor and represent the symbolic end of the road that connected Rome to the Adriatic. From here, you can also see the Monument to the Italian Sailor, dedicated to fallen sailors.

The tour continues to Piazza Duomo, with the Cathedral of Saint Giovanni Battista: a sober façade and an interior rich in Baroque elements, marble, stucco, and altars. Nearby are the Loggia Balsamo, an elegant arched structure, and the Palace of the Seminary, a historic ecclesiastical building.

The walk continues through the old town, among narrow streets and noble palaces, leading to the Temple of Saint Giovanni al Sepolcro, a medieval circular building of symbolic value. The visit ends with an exterior view of the Swabian Castle, a fortress of Norman and Swabian origin that dominates the city.
