Alfonsino Castle, also known as Red Castle, is located on the Island of St. Andrew, at the port of Brindisi. This fortification dates back to 1481 and it was completed in 1492 by Ferdinand I of Aragon. It was built in defence of the city from possible sea attacks.

Works on Brindisi’s impressive Cathedral began in the 11th century and it was rebuilt in the mid-18th century. Parts of the original building, including a twelfth-century mosaic floor, can still be seen. Inside you can see the altars in poly-chrome marble commissioned, the balustrades and the majolica floor.

Traces of the old city walls can still be found all around Zadar, with some sections dating back to the Middle Ages and a greater part built during the Venetian control over the city as a fortification against the Turks. Beside some portions of the previous walls, eight gates used as entrances to the city remain, of which the most elaborate is the one known as Land Gate. Located just in front of the little Foša harbour, Land Gate is adorned with some of the finest Dalmatian Renaissance-style decorations, including representations of Saint Chrysogonus and the lion of St Mark.
