The Alfonsino Castle of Brindisi is also known as Forte a Mare and was built on a small island called Isola di Sant’Andrea. More precisely, it is located at the entrance to the port of Brindisi, which is already of immense natural beauty.
The structure is made up of two fulcrums:
The Aragonese part dating back to 400
The part called Forte a Mare dating back to 500.
In recent years, work has been carried out by the Superintendency aimed at recovering this jewel. The Castle has risen again and, finally, has been reopened to the public. In fact, it is now possible to book a guided tour to discover the wonder of this Castle and its history!
