The Roman Column of Brindisi is a bit the symbol of Brindisi. Until 1500 the columns were two and marked the end of the Via Appia, the street of the streets that connected Rome to Brindisi. At the same time, the columns played an important role in signaling the port. Today only one remains of the two original columns.
