Church of Santa Maria del Casale

The Cathedral of Brindisi was consecrated by Pope Urban II in 1089 and completed in 1143. Heavily damaged by the earthquake of 1743, it was rebuilt until the completion of the church bell in 1795. In the 1920s, the façade was completed with a tympanum, later replaced in 1957 by statues of saints. Inside there are fragments of the mosaic floor from 1178.

The Church of St. John the Sepulchre is a Romanesque church from the 11th century. It is a fabulous example of construction from the Norman period, perhaps erected by Bohemond I of Antioch when he was returning from the Crusades as is the local tradition. In 1761 an earthquake destroyed most of the buildings in Brindisi; the Church of St John at the Sepulchre did not collapse but suffered considerable damage, leading to a long deterioration and the loss of 80% of the frescoed surface, until the restoration in the mid-19th century.

The church of San Benedetto is a sacred Romanesque building probably dating back to the 10th century. On the right stands the massive Romanesque bell tower from the 11th century. The interior, recently restored again, is presented in the 11th-12th century redefinition. The Romanesque cloister is also worth a visit.
