Must-See Spots in Taranto

No visit to Taranto would be complete without exploring some key sights, which we recommend adding to your itinerary:

• The Aragonese Castle, an imposing fortress overlooking the navigable canal, now open to visitors with tours led by the Italian Navy.

• San Cataldo Cathedral, the oldest Romanesque cathedral in Apulia, a true architectural gem.

• The National Archaeological Museum (MArTA), one of Italy’s most important museums, famous for its extraordinary collection of Magna Graecia gold artifacts.

• The Old Town, a maze of alleyways, courtyards, and palaces that preserve Taranto’s authentic soul.

With Taxi Premium Matera, you can explore these places in complete freedom, setting your own pace.

The Charm of the Two Seas

Taranto earns its nickname from the two bodies of water surrounding it: the Mar Grande and Mar Piccolo. This unique geography offers stunning views, especially at sunset when the sun reflects off the calm waters in breathtaking displays of light.

Don't miss the chance to cross the iconic Swing Bridge, the city’s symbol, connecting the Old Town island to the mainland.
