    Built, maintained, and operated by a dedicated group. You’ll learn about the history of Taranto by passionate locals. Definitely worth visiting to learn more about the rich history of Italy from this hidden gem.

    My wife and I had a short stop off in Taranto whilst on a TUI cruiser and enjoyed the visit. The seafront views are absolutely amazing, so scenic and beautiful. The city is a joy to explore.

    This long, tree-lined boulevard is cooling and shady to walk along in the hot summer months. It's situated along the sea-board with great views. There are plenty of places to stop and rest as well as vendors selling refreshments.

    The monument to the Sailor is dedicated to all sailors of the Italian Navy and is located near the castle, over the bridge. It is made of bronze and is about seven meters tall. The monument is positioned to greet the boats that sail the nearby waters.

    There is little left, but what is left is quite striking. Very interesting background and quite majestic remnants.

    It’s a nice little piazza with a striking fountain near from the Lungomare with a wonderful see view. In the night it’s lighted with the Italian tricolor

    We stopped in the centro storico of Taranto to see these exhibits. Essentially open rooms underground, there is no signage and very little information on what you're looking at or what is the significance. I wouldn't waste the time, although the whole thing (all four places) takes only about 15 minutes.

    I think it is the biggest building in Taranto. I would like to visit inside of the building but unofrtunately it was not possible at that time.
