Personally I found this the most beautiful place of Brindisi; so special-small , circular and inside you can feel the Middle Ages atmosphere with the knights coming back from the Crusades.
Very friendly guard at the entrance. Free. The only thing they ask you to do is sign a book, a small effort considering in other places they would certainly ask an entrance fee.

This old Roman column sits overlooking the harbor with another that had not fared that well and is quite impressive up a flight of steps. To find it go towards the harbor down the main street ( Corso Giuseppe Garibaldi) and turn left at Piazza Vittorio Emanuele and you will find it a few hundred meters along the road on the left.There is no English explanation of the history.

dont, really don't walk there!
almost dead we arrived there! from the castle you can't see much, so nothing along the way. most parts as well military restricted area! the monument is temporally closed! one a great view and fotostop to Brindisi old town
to Promenade is under construction too, will finally a nice place i think and if to public boat will stop there the place will be great to visit (maybe then open too!!!)
by the way: a taxi back takes 30€! means more as to airport - well we don't care after this walking experience at all......
visit: 15min - by foot get there 45min
local bus somewhen from somewhere, so no need for tourist....

The Pontificia Basilica Cattedrale is a church located within the small old town open square. A beautiful old façade, crypt, massive columns with high ceilings and intricately designed stained glass windows. There were also old paintings along the walls. Make a quick peak inside when passing through this small, old town.

Edificata dai Normanni nell'11° secolo, è un gioiello di rara bellezza, nella sua semplicità. Tre navate all'interno tutte da gustare, ed il magnifico chiostro, di epoca medievale. Notevole

Visiting the area off a cruise ship step straight out onto the Promenade. It's beautifully presented and has some lovely photo opportunities. We just wandered around and enjoyed the views, churches, monuments, shopped a little and visited one of the many bar/cafes. Very friendly people. Very relaxing.

The research is impressive and clearly explained. There is a variety of exhibits, well dislayed and the staff are very friendly and helpful.
The building has been sympathetically remodelled to provide a pleasant journey through the early history of this complex region of Italy.
Full marks all round - a model example of what a provincial museum should be.
