The castle stands on the islet of S. Andrea, a natural defensive bastion, and was built in 1445, commissioned by Ferdinand I of Aragon to his son Alfonso. The expansion desired by Philip II of Austria in 1583 encircles the entire side of the island. The castle has various titles, Castello di Mare to distinguish it from that of Terra (Svevo), Castello Alfonsino or Aragonese due to the family that built it and Castello Rosso because in the hours of sunset the structure acquires an extraordinary reddish color due to the tuff with which was built. Guided tours, also in English and Spanish, with reservations required on 379 2653244.

Return the castle to the city !!! It would become a well-known tourist attraction, a venue for meetings, events and exhibitions and an ideal location for the free time of Brindisi residents with the beautiful seafront and the pine forest behind it.
