A stay in Francavilla Fontana (Brindisi)
Francavilla Fontana, ancient origins,
became a city in the early fourteenth
century by order of Philip of Anjou, Prince of Taranto, tradition says that
the prince, in the September 14,
1310, during a hunting trip he
found a picture the Madonna and Child painted on a crumbling wall near a fountain. Erected
a chapel and granted the lands and franchises to the inhabitants of neighboring houses thus giving rise to the city initially called
Casale di Francavilla. In this
beautiful city you will see Argentina
Palace, National Monument, with the portal surmounted by a balcony (1400) richly
decorated palace Giannuzzi
Dearest, eighteenth century, with
the beautiful balcony of the entire
facade, also the
Clock Tower (1750) where he later
they were set a sundial. Walking around you will see the Fountain Vena,
the beautiful and large public garden; the Mother
Church baroque,
the facade is special with the tallest dome in Salento with a star at the top inside
the crypt is very impressive. The castle is surrounded by a moat, the portal is the eighteenth century, on the one hand
you'll see four windows with arches and columns, with a beautiful terrace in
the ditch there are also flowering plants and
palm trees. Along the
perimeter of the castle are still
visible the Porta del Carmine,
the Gate of the Cross and the Gate
of the Capuchins. A nice walk to City
Park Forest Bottari,
near the provincial Francavilla-Ceglie, with holm
oaks and reverelle
but also to Mirror Cave and Cave Bax
formed by karst effects.
