A suggestive panoramic point from which to admire the Aragonese Castle, the navigable canal and the Swing Bridge

The origins of the fortress of Taranto date back to Byzantine times. The current appearance of the complex dates back to Ferdinand of Aragon, who had the outdated castle converted into a modern fortress at the end of the 15th century. The fortifications were further reinforced by the Spanish in the 16th century. At the end of the 19th century, the Aragonese Castle passed to the Italian Navy, which still owns the complex today.

Beautiful fortress in Taranto

The Castello Aragonese, also called Castel Sant'Angelo, is located on a small island called Isola del Borgo Antico, which is separated from the mainland of Taranto by a channel about 70 meters wide. Beautifully renovated Renaissance fortress from 1492.

Inside it is possible to visit the rooms of the Aragonese Castle where there are documents written in French and models (in miniature) of the castle.
