What to expect
Museo Nazionale Archeologico
The National Archaeological Museum of Taranto is one of the most prestigious in Italy. Founded in 1887, it was created following the urbanization of the area east of the Taranto Navigable Canal, which led to the construction of the Borgo Umbertino.
Monumento al Marinaio d'Italia
Inaugurated in 1974 and created by the artist Vittorio Di Cobertaldo, the Monument to the Sailor of Taranto is one of the most emblematic points of the City of the Two Seas. Let's discover the story of this monument!
Castello Aragonese
The Aragonese Castle of Taranto, also known as Castel Sant’Angelo, is a fortification located at the end of the island that houses the ancient village of the city. The structure, with its quadrangular plan and the large central courtyard, overlooks the sea.
Colonne del Tempio Dorico (VI sec. a.C.)
The columns you see behind the fence in Piazza Castello, in the Old City, are the only remaining trace of the Doric temple of Poseidon. Let's discover their story!
Palazzo Di Citta'
Built between 1864 and 1869, the current Palazzo di Città, seat of the Municipality of Taranto, represents a significant example of Umbertine eclecticism, a style found in many institutional buildings of the Borgo.
Museo Ipogeo Spartano di Taranto
The Spartan Museum of Taranto, housed in the Bellacicco Hypogeum (previously the Hypogeum of Palazzo de Beaumont Bonelli), documents the entire history of Taranto, from the Spartan era (8th century BC) to the 17th century, the date of construction of the noble palace above.
Cattedrale Duomo di San Cataldo
The church of San Cataldo, also commonly known as the Cathedral of Taranto, is located in the historic center of the city. Formerly dedicated to Mary Magdalene and later to San Cataldo, the Holy Bishop and patron saint of the city, Taranto Cathedral is the oldest cathedral in Puglia.
Chiostro di San Domenico
The Church of San Domenico, also known as San Pietro Imperiale, is one of the architectural wonders of the historic center of Taranto, located in the historic Old Town. Built in a Romanesque-Gothic style, the church was completed in 1360.
