Testa Tower

Highlight • Monument

Torre Testa is a coastal tower of Salento located near Brindisi, in the locality of Giancola. It was built to defend the territory from attacks by the Turks and corsairs, and communicated with the other towers on the coast, such as Torre Punta Penne and Torre Guaceto. Some recent restoration work has saved it from collapse and being located at the end of a small peninsula, it enjoys a splendid view of the sea and the surrounding nature.

Materdomini seafront

Highlight (Segment) • Beach

The seafront of Materdomini up to Punta Penne is a seaside area much appreciated by Brindisi residents and tourists. It is a stretch of coast that alternates fine sand and rock, with clear waters and clayey breakwaters. There are several bathing establishments and free beaches, and it is the ideal place for walking, jogging or a nice ride.

View of the Monument to the Italian Sailor

Highlight • Monument

The National Monument to Italian Sailors was inaugurated in 1933 in the presence of King Vittorio Emanuele III. It was erected to honor the fallen of the First World War and in recognition of the city's merits as the site of a naval base on the lower Adriatic. Among the projects submitted to the specially organized national competition, the winning project was that of architect Luigi Brunati and sculptor Amerigo Bartoli. The monument represents a large oar with a memorial chapel at its base. The names of the sailors who died in the First World War, the numbers of those killed in the Second World War, and those of the civilian and military units that sank are engraved on the walls of the chapel. The bronze statue of Our Lady, Star of the Sea, is a work of art by Bartoli; it was inserted into the oar's tooth in 1954.

Dentice di Frasso Castle

Highlight • Castle

The first building in the area, a tower, dates back to the 12th century. At that time this area was wooded and rich in fauna and that is why it is believed that the tower was a hunting lodge. The town of San Vito dei Normanni developed around this tower. Over the centuries, various families have taken turns to control the territory, each of which has brought changes and additions to the original structure of the building. Around the seventeenth century the Dentice family settled there, still owner of the castle, from which the building takes its current name. On the entrance portal of the chapel the heraldic coat of arms of the family, a snapper, and the motto reciting "Noli me tangere" are clearly visible.
