Bastione Carlo V

The city of Brindisi owes its defensive system to the Romans and, then, to the Spanish family of the Aragonese. This system includes castles, doors and ramparts. Among the latter, it should certainly be mentioned that of Charles V, which has a typical structure of the fifteenth and seventeenth centuries, with stubby fortresses and merloni and develops on a triangular plan. The ramparts are currently used by the Municipal Administration to promote exhibitions and events.
