• Swabian Castle of Brindisi - Also called the “Castello di terra” (“earth” castle) to distinguish it from the Aragonese (called “sea” castle), the Swabian castle was built by order of Federico II in 1227. The structure was aimed at protecting the inhabitants of Brindisi, who in those days they “mourned” the beneficial period of the rule of the Normans and did not like the Swabians.
  In the original, the castle had a square shape with 4 towers in the corners - on one side the castle was protected by the sea, on the other by a deep moat. Then the castle was improved and strengthened by Ferdinand of Aragon. After the overthrow of the Spanish, the structure became a meeting hall under Gioachino Murata in 1813. The castle was used in the same way by the Bourbons and Savoyards until the 20th century, when the castle came into the possession of the Navy of the Italian Republic.

• Fontana Di Tancredi - Built in 1192 to celebrate the wedding of King Roger and Princess Irene of Constantinople, the Tancredi Fountain - also known as the Great Fountain - is located outside the historic center of Brindisi, on Via Provinciale San Vito. The fountain was made on the remains of a pre-existing fountain from Roman times.The fountain was famous for its water with medicinal properties - its water was used by local doctors to treat patients from the city and surrounding areas.

The monument has undergone significant numerous restorations, especially in 1192 and 1549. In 1828 the fountain was expanded, and the coat of arms of Ferrante Loffredo and the coat of arms of Charles V were also added to the monument.

• Monumento al Marinaio d’Italia - Located on the Boulevard Duca degli Abruzzi, the monument was erected as a memorial to the sailors who were victims of the war. The monument was inaugurated on November 4, 1933 in the presence of King Vittorio Emanuele III.Made in the shape of a rudder, the monument is 53 meters high and is interesting for tourists because everyone has the opportunity to climb to the upper observation deck, from where they can enjoy breathtaking views of the harbor and the city. Inside the memorial there are several rooms where a collection of historical objects is collected, such as the stern of the battleship Benedetto Brin, which sank in 1915 in the port of Brindisi. A marble statue of the Madonna was placed on top of the monument in 1954.

• Castello Alfonsino di Brindisi - Castello Alfonsino (also called Castel Rosso, from the color of the carparo ashlars used for its construction, or Castello di Mare) is a complex fortified structure built on the island of Sant’Andrea, at the mouth of the external port of Brindisi. The castle is adjacent to the Forte a Mare (or Forte di Brindisi[1]), whose construction work, which began in 1558, under the reign of Philip II of Habsburg, son of Charles V, lasted 46 years.The Alfonsino castle occupies the southern promontory with irregular shapes that follow the conformation of the place (it has also undergone collapses and reconstructions): inside there is a hall decorated with a sink with stone jambs (1527). The two bastions date back to the early 16th century, the one facing the interior is round, the one facing the open sea is triangular.

• Chiesa rettoria Santa Maria al Casale - The church of Santa Maria del Casale is a Romanesque-Gothic building located 2 kilometers north of Brindisi, near the Casale district, on the road to the airport.It was built at the end of the 13th century on the site where there was a chapel which housed a Marian icon linked to a pious tradition to Saint Francis of Assisi who, returning from the Holy Land, prayed here. In fact, it is said that he spent the night in the farmhouse and in a newsstand there was an icon of the Madonna, which however was covered by a cobweb like a veil. So Saint Francis asked the spider to release the icon, which immediately agreed.[1] It was donated in 1300 by King Charles II to Archbishop Pandone. The place where the church of the Madonna del Casale stood was solitary and pleasant and the archbishops of Brindisi built their summer residence there.

• Colonne Terminali della Via Appia - The Roman Columns of Brindisi are a monument located near the city’s port. Originally they were two twin columns, unique in the architectural panorama of antiquity. As such they were depicted as early as the 14th century as the emblem of the city. Following the collapse of one of the two columns in 1528, the monument remained mutilated. The surviving column was dismantled during the Second World War to avoid collapse or damage caused by the furious bombings suffered by the city; between 1996 and 2002 the column was dismantled again into its component parts and this time entirely restored, while archaeological investigations were carried out in the surrounding square; after the reassembly, the original capital is now exhibited in a room of the Granafei-Nervegna Palace, a copy has been placed in its place.
