The name of the archaeological area derives from the presence, starting from the mid-fifteenth century, of a community of Slavs, mainly Greeks and Albanians, who settled in this area since the sixteenth century and founded a settlement with the church of San Pietro at its centre, of which today no material traces remain.

The construction of the Cathedral symbolized the rebirth of the city, supported by the Normans as part of their expansion towards the east. Brindisi quickly recovered its role as an important commercial hub towards the east, becoming an essential transit point for those traveling from Rome to Jerusalem.

The Provincial Archaeological Museum of Brindisi, named after Francesco Ribezzo, a scholar of the Messapian civilization of the territory, was part of the Library-Museum Center of Brindisi, administered by the Puglia Region and was founded in 1884. The collections on display cover various thematic sections, including antiquarian, epigraphic and statuary, prehistoric, Messapian, Roman and underwater archaeology.

The Roman columns of Brindisi are considered one of the symbols of the city. The origins of the Roman columns of Brindisi are the subject of three main hypotheses. The most accredited theory suggests that they were erected around 110 AD at the behest of the emperor Trajan and that they represented the terminals of the historic Appian Way.
