The Piazzetta Martiri delle Foibe is the first panoramic view of Ostuni's old town when traveling south along Corso Vittorio Emanuele from Lecce. It's a simple spot where you can enjoy a beautiful view that extends from the town of Ostuni to the sea. It's a great place for a break, whether on foot or by bike, as it's served by a nearby fountain from the Apulian aqueduct.

Roman Columns of Brindisi (1/4) The end of the Via Appia Antica, known locally as the Roman Columns of Brindisi, is a remarkable historical landmark in the charming port city of Brindisi, Italy. This ancient monument, steeped in history and surrounded by local legends, offers a fascinating glimpse into the past and is a must-see for any traveler exploring the region. The Historical Significance of the Columns The end of the Via Appia Antica is no ordinary monument; it is a testament to the lasting legacy of the Roman Empire. Originally, two tall columns marked the endpoint of the famous Via Appia, one of the earliest and most strategically important Roman roads connecting Rome to Brindisi. These columns have silently guarded the harbor for centuries, witnessing the changing tides of history.

In 1278 the walls of Villanova were built, and about 20 years later the castle was built by the Angevins, who took over the domination of Ostuni from the Swabian-Normans, who were responsible for the intensification of olive cultivation. From surviving documents, demonstrating its strategic importance, it appears that around the 15th century the castle was a fully active defensive structure. In fact, the city of Ostuni under Aragonese domination, thanks also to the castle and the small port of Villanova, managed to maintain the status of a state city, therefore free from feudal duties. Due to the various destructions over time, little remains of the original 14th-century construction. Currently the castle is made up of three bodies that act as square towers with a sloped base. Around the building, at the height of the first floor, runs a tubular torus and from the roof of the building rises a turret modeled on the prototype of a lighthouse.
