View of Castello Alfonsino (Aragonese Castle) in Brindisi

Highlight • Viewpoint

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.

White Road to Torre Guaceto

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

Nice stretch of rather compact dirt road, easily practicable both by mountain bike and gravel, which allows you to immerse yourself in the heart of the wetland area of the nature reserve and which reaches up to the famous Aragonese Tower.

Serranova Castle

Highlight • Castle

Feudal complex dating back to the seventeenth century, located in Serranova, in the countryside belonging to the municipality of Carovigno. The structure consists of a wall that encloses a square tower, surrounded by small medieval houses. At the end of the 18th century the structure became the property of Prince Gerardo Dentice di Frasso. In 1976 the structure was sold by the Dentice di Frasso heirs to a farm, thus making the complex inaccessible as it is private.
