Portico dei Templari, Medieval porch in Piazza Duomo, Brindisi, Italy.

The Portico dei Templari features two Gothic arches made of carparo stone, connected by a Greek marble column with wicker-pattern decorations.

Built during the 12th-13th century, this structure belonged to the De Cateniano family palace before being donated to the civic hospital in the 16th century.

The building serves as the entrance to the Ribezzo Museum, housing medieval artifacts including a large stone sarcophagus beneath its cross-vaulted ceiling.

Located in the heart of Brindisi's historic center, the portico stands near the Cathedral and connects to several medieval architectural elements of the city.

Despite its name suggesting Templar origins, scholars determined the structure was actually a loggia of the first medieval archbishop's palace of Brindisi.
