On the splendid promenade of Regina Margherita, you will find the Casa del Turista di Brindisi, a historic 18th-century palace that today houses the regional tourism agency.\n\nIn the Middle Ages, the Church of the Knights of Saint John of Jerusalem stood here. This is testified by the wall structure discovered in 2000, made of large limestone blocks.\n\nThe ancient cult logo was part of an architectural complex that for a long period also belonged to the Knights Templar. On the entrance arch, at the keystone, you can see the Maltese Cross, the famous symbol of the religious military order.\n\nInside, you can admire the permanent exhibitions of Lecce and Neapolitan nativity scenes and ancient toys.
