Twin columns facing the sea, one still standing and the other supporting a historic statue in Lecce.
Dominating a monumental flight of stairs facing the sea, these twin columns were erected in the 2nd or 3rd century to mark the end of the Via Appia, the Roman road that connected Rome to Brindisi. Only one of the two columns remains standing: the other was transported to Lecce in 1528 to support the statue of the patron saint of the city, Sant'Oronzo, in the square of the same name. The column of Brindisi is 19 m high and its capital is a copy: the original is exposed in Palazzo Granafei-Nervegna which also houses the tourist office.
