A valley with a small lake, a small natural waterfall—unique in Puglia—and numerous historical sites, from prehistory to the 10th century. A small paradise that many may not know, yet it lies within our territory. We're talking about the Gravina di Riggio, a place of great natural and historical value. A few kilometers from the city, the Gravina di Riggio is a deep valley characterized by a waterfall, a small lake, and a small stream, as well as numerous relics related to the phenomenon of "living in caves." Of particular note is "il Caggione," a circular chasm located near the waterfall. On its sheer walls, a cave village spread across three levels of caves is clearly visible. The remains of a fortification wall, some graffiti, and fragments of pottery date back to the Greek and Roman periods. Finally, the area was heavily inhabited during the Middle Ages, as evidenced by the two frescoed rock churches, the cenobitic hermitage, the pit burials, and a village with communal facilities such as water cisterns and a granary. The Gravina di Riggio rises 4 kilometers from Grottaglie, in the province of Taranto, and is a valley 1,300 meters long and 25 meters deep. In addition to being home to many animal and plant species, it is famous for its caves, some of natural origin, others man-made. The Gravina di Riggio is unique for its waterfall, which after a 15-meter drop feeds a small lake and a stream. The Church-Crypt of the Savior, with frescoes from the 10th and 11th centuries, is also beautiful. A special place not to be missed.

The "Stone Bridge", also called "Porta Napoli Bridge" and today dedicated to Sant'Egidio Maria da Taranto, was built in 1883 after a disastrous flood (on the night between 14 and 15 September of the same year) destroyed the seven-arch bridge built in the 10th century. A.D. by Emperor Nicephorus II Phocas. The ancient Byzantine structure followed a slightly different axis from the current one to better respond to the risk of attack. Under the threat of increasingly frequent military incursions, the bridge, as well as the western access to the city f

The Temple of Poseidon (or Doric Temple) is a peripteral temple of the Doric order located in today's Piazza Castello in the historic center of Taranto. It appears to be the oldest temple in Magna Graecia and is the only place of Greek worship that can still be visited in the Ancient Village.

One of the bridges, the other is the swing bridge that connects old Taranto to the rest of the city.
