Taranto is located on the beautiful Ionian Sea and is a city that has a rich history that has made it well worth a visit. It's also an important commercial port as well as the main Italian naval base.
With ancient buildings, crystal clear waters and fresh seafood, this lesser-known Italian city is touted as one of the must-visit destinations in Europe this summer.
Today, the fortress is open for public tours and attracts a large number of tourists. The fortress features wide and short halls, a distinctive element of Norman culture, along with spherical halls and internal walkways, reports the Express. Dedicated to the archaeology of ancient Taranto - formerly known as Taras - there are numerous artefacts to admire, including the world's largest collection of Greek terracotta figures.
