End of the Via Appia Antica, Archaeological site at the harbor in Brindisi, Italy
Two Roman columns stand at the harbor, marking the final point of the Via Appia Antica, an ancient road connecting Rome to Brindisi.
The columns date back to the Roman conquest of Brindisi in 266 BC, when the city became a major port for trade and military operations.
The site represents the engineering capabilities of ancient Romans and their understanding of maritime navigation through strategic coastal landmarks.
Located at Via Colonne 53 in Brindisi, the archaeological site remains open to visitors throughout the year without entrance fees.
The columns functioned as navigation markers for ships entering the harbor while simultaneously marking the end point of Europe's first paved road.
