Nowadays famous for its port and steelworks, Taranto is located in the southern part of Italy. Although the city almost saw its reputation tarnished due to a few industrial problems, Taranto has been able to take advantage of its charm to win over its visitors.
Taranto and its assets
This city, where it is pleasant to recharge your batteries, can be visited throughout the year. It also boasts a number of interesting monuments to admire during a stroll, such as its revolving deck and the medieval Del Governo palace. Located close-hauled to Chenal, on the seafront, this beautiful Argonne castle steeped in legend is immersed in an enigmatic atmosphere.
The city also preserves other remains that would interest budding historians, such as the ruins of a Doric temple. The beautiful cathedral of San Cataldo, built around the 11th century, is also another curiosity to see with its subtly worked Baroque facade dating from the 18th century. A new passion for art will no doubt awaken in you when you take a short break at the Taranto museum, which houses a magnificent collection of ancient objects and furniture dating from the Greek period, around the 4th century.
Enjoy Taranto in a different way
But Taranto can also be discovered through its authentic landscape and its breathtaking nature, which lends itself to many fun activities for families or couples. Simply opt for a yacht charter in Taranto to discover all its charms. With the wind in your hair, your trip out to sea will take you to other places of interest, such as the famous revolving deck of Taranto.
This one, moreover, bears a strong resemblance to the former national port of Brest. Approximately 90 meters long and 9.3 meters wide, this deck was inaugurated in 1887. Due to its unique character, it has also become a symbol of the city of Taranto. The deck connects the Borgo Nuovo peninsula to the Borgo Antico islet. So, dare to take to the sea, if only to admire this extraordinary deck that makes Taranto so special and authentic.
