Brindisi & Salento
Brindisi is a harbor city where Roman roads, medieval pilgrimage routes and a palm-lined waterfront meet, while Lecce, whitewashed hill towns, coastal reserves and vineyard country extend the journey across northern Salento.
See more than the headline sights.
Bon Voyage treats a destination as a connected world: history, neighborhoods, food, nearby escapes and the port or route that brought you here all belong to the same journey.
Brindisi's Roman Columns turn a sea view into a map of ancient Mediterranean movement.
The Comune di Brindisi begins its official city itinerary at the Roman Columns, the city's symbol, high above the harbor. From that threshold, the route enters a compact center layered with Roman remains, Piazza Duomo and San Giovanni al Sepolcro, whose form reflects Brindisi's historic cultural connection with the Holy Land. The same harbor setting makes the city a natural base for understanding Salento rather than merely passing through it.
