Walk through the Castello Aragonese of Taranto
15 Jul, 2024
A famed local landmark is a sentinel looking out over the sea: the Castello Aragonese of Taranto. Its history traces back to an ancient era, the Greek period of the 4th-3rd centuries BC., visible still today in its remains. Italy’s Marina Militare has been the steward of its imposing walls since 1883, and it has promoted the fortifications’ importance and elucidated the architecture of its various eras: Greek, Byzantine, Norman, and Swabian-Angevin.
