About Taranto
Taranto is a naval port in Puglia on the Ionian Sea, with an old town on an island, a Spartan-founded past, a rich archaeology museum and a mussel coast.
Taranto was founded as Taras by Spartan settlers around 706 BC and became one of the richest cities of Magna Graecia. The old town sits on a small island between two seas, the open Mar Grande and the enclosed Mar Piccolo, linked to the mainland by a swing bridge. Its Aragonese castle, built in the fifteenth century, guards the channel, and the Cathedral of San Cataldo stands among narrow lanes.
