The bow parts the Adriatic and the sun lays a flat gold on Brindisi’s low stone facades. From the water the port’s monuments resolve into simple, monumental forms — the 54‑meter Timone Grande rising like a ship’s mast of ochre carparo, the squat geometry of the Swabian Castle, and the lone Roman column that once flanked the end of the Appian Way. A one‑hour run around the bay gives you this shoreline theater in compact, readable scenes.
