Santa Maria del Casale, the Gothic jewel at Brindisi’s doorstep

29 June 20262 min

A striped stone façade and a fully frescoed interior, minutes from the centre.

A church to discover

Built between the late 13th and early 14th centuries, Santa Maria del Casale stands just outside the centre, near the airport. Its façade alternates light and dark stone bands with rare geometric elegance.

The frescoes

The interior is covered in medieval fresco cycles; above the entrance dominates the great Last Judgement attributed to Rinaldo da Taranto.

A place in history

In 1310 the church hosted the trial of the Templars of the Kingdom of Naples, an episode that adds to an already remarkable visit.
