The lovely church of Santa Maria del Casale in Brindisi was built between 1300 and 1310. It stands on the site of an ancient chapel and is believed to have been commissioned by Philip, Prince of Taranto. Inside there are some Byzantine frescoes, including the Annunciation, the Tree of the Cross, the Virgin with Child and Saints, the Nativity, Christ Enthroned, scenes from the Passion and the Last Judgement. There is also a marble pillar with a 9th Century cross.
