An impressive sight from across the bay. Stands out majestically. Free entrance to go in and up on the top. Pity we did not have time.

Thought this museum was going to be quite small, but it had exhibits spread over 4 floors! Descriptions in English and Italian. Very interesting displays on the archeological finds from the city & also the seas nearby. I particularly liked the glass objects and the mosaics. It is also free to get in, I think they should have a donations box, so visitors can make a contribution if they wish.

On Nov. 29th 2019 I had the great chance and pleasure to visit this amazing church. For sure it is the most interesting place in Brindisi. And it is so because of the great help and intelligently told story of Angelo and his lady-colleague. They are people who invite visitors as if it is in their home, they like and love the sight they are responsible for and willingly share all they know about the history, architecture and all details about the church inside and outside (incl. the wonderful garden). They make you feel very special - with this personal attitude towards you. They are well educated and prepared to discuss any theme about the church and Brindisi as a whole. It was my most interesting time of that my one day in Brindisi. It was a privilege for me to meet these so nice people and I am most grateful for this. I send them my very best regards! Thanks once again! And nobody should miss this place! Krassimira - Sofia, Bulgaria

Brindisi port has been upgraded and renovated in the last couple of years. A great place for passeggiata, having a walk along the front and an ice cream from Bettys!
