Porta Napoli (Porta Mesagne) – Gateway to the Appian Way

Highlight • Monument

(1/3) Porta Napoll, also known as Porta Mesagne, is the widest entrance gate to the city. It was built on the foundations of the wall erected in Roman times by Mark Antony with the aim of isolating the city from the land. In 1243, loyal to Octavian, Emperor Frederick I of Swabia planned to expand the urban area of Brindisi and incorporate it into the new city walls. He also wanted to build a triumphal gate as the main access to the city center. The gate dates back to the time of the nearby Aragonese castle.

The Ruga Magistra (Main Street) originated here and coincided with today's Via Carmine and Via Filomeno Consiglio, a straight path leading to the harbor. The supports for the beams are still present in the pointed arch opening, which probably supported a wooden roof, as well as in the hinges of the doors.

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.

Lungomare Regina Margherita

Highlight • Viewpoint

Following the seafront of Brindisi you can take a pleasant and relaxing walk on the port of the city, which offers a beautiful view of the sea and the historical monuments. It takes its name from the queen who inaugurated it in 1904 and along the way you can admire the Swabian Castle, the Roman Terminal Columns of the Via Appia and in 2022 a panoramic wheel was installed. Some parts of the promenade have been pedestrianized and are very popular with citizens and tourists, especially in the evening and on weekends.
