Brindisi Ferry

Park your car and take a trip aboard the little ferry that leaves from the Brindisi waterfront at the bottom of the pedestrian-only street and goes across the Pigonati Channel. Across the water are good views of Castello Svevo built in 1227 and the Italian Sailor’s Monument - built in 1933 and stands 54 meters tall and known as “The Big Rudder”. The side across from central Brindisi also has a long sea wall that goes out into the ocean. We didn’t walk it but saw others doing so as our ferry was docking. (I wanted back to the car for a rest!!) A stroll along the seawall - Porticciolo turistico - would have been a nice thing to do but we had no idea how far away it was from the monument and park on that side. Also on this side is the S. Maria Del Casale - a 13th century convent church. Be sure to pick up a map of Brindisi from the tourist info centre located on the central Brindisi waterfront side near the Roman Columns.
