It is always nice when we get to places that are landmarks ...And this is the case ... marks where the most famous "highway" 2000 years ago reached the end.Enjoy and God bless you

The historical significance of this site was overwhelming. On top of that the columns are beautiful with one of them perfectly intact. It is a must for any lover of Italy and/or history to visit this place.

We visited the area as an introduction of Brindisi before heading towards Otranto and Leuca during our organized excursion with Tours of Puglia. It's the end of famous Appian Way, but only one remain from the original two. Second one is in Lecce

I have read about the twin pillars marking the end of the Appian Way but there was only one pillar in existence still standing, the other having been removed for restoration some time ago leaving just a plinth. It offers a good vantage point for views across the harbor.

At the top of the monumental stairway are a column and the remains of a second (now erected in Lecce) which mark the beginning or the end (depending on the direction of your journey) of the Via Appia which leads from Brindisi to Rome. At the top of the flight of stairs to the left a marble plaque commemorates the site of the death of Vergil (Virgil), the Augustan poet who penned the Aeneid. If you walk down the flight of steps to the water and turn to the left you will find an unpretentious sign announcing La Raccolta Archeologica Salvatore Faldetta, a hum-dinger of a museum with free entry, clean bathrooms, and an amazing collection of pottery and a selection of sculpture in stone and terracotta from the Indian subcontinent! There is an elevator, but use the spiral staircase for another surprise--a reproduction of Rome's Column of Trajan, with the scenes labeled, all in Italian, but nevertheless affording a view of the Column that one can not expect to get in Rome itself.

When in Brindisi it is worth a visit to see the columns of the end of the Appian way. The view out to sea is wonderful and those with an imagination can see what the sailors would have seen on arrival into the port, very impressive. Just around the corner is Betty's cafe do go there.

Amazing view of the port at night. Must visit also Palazzo Nervegna were the original column is now kept.

When you look the "colonne" you can imagine the romans arriving from a long tiring journey from Rome along the via Appiaand ready to take a ship to cross the sea to Africa or Middle EastBrindisi was the end of their journey on the roman soil and the begin of a sea journey with unknown outcome.On their way back was just the other way around they were happy to be back on Roman soil.Very impressed ,more than 2000 years the colonne are still therewatching the sea but instead of the romans you have now other nationalities admiring this roman monument.

Brindisi is an interesting little town where you can meet locals, and drink wonderful coffee. This monument is worth a look, only a short walk from the center of town. The view is breathtaking.When in the town, find a local shop (many are closed from noon-5pm), buy some mozzarella and a few crackers, and find a nice spot in the sun to relax and enjoy.The main part of town only really starts bustling after about 6pm.

These ancient columns sign the end of the famous Via Appia connecting Rome to Brindisi. Even if the original one is inside the Palazzo Nervegna ( just 2 minutes away and where you can have an amazing coffee too), the place is breathtaking as the columns overlook The port of Brindisi. In the summer you can also dine by the columns at restaurant Buena Vista...worth a visit...
