HISTORIC PRESERVATION at Roman Column marking the end of the Appian Way, Brindisi.
One of the two ancient Roman columns that marked the southern end of the Appian Way still stands in Brindisi, its marble capital carved with figures of deities, while its twin fell in the sixteenth century and was largely removed to Lecce, leaving only a base marker on the site. The column stands in the city center under Italian state and municipal heritage protection. It is freely accessible in open ground.
About Roman Column marking the end of the Appian Way, Brindisi
Two marble columns were erected by the Romans in the second century to mark the terminus of the Appian Way at the port of Brundisium. One toppled in the sixteenth century and was later given to the city of Lecce. The columns marked the end of the road linking Rome to its Adriatic ports for trade and military transit.
