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 The current appearance of the complex dates back to Ferdinand of Aragon, who had the outdated castle converted into a modern fortress at the end of the 15th century.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.

Well-maintained, historic complex. Free admission.

The historic center tells the story of the area, a story that has remained embedded in the architecture of the Castello de Falconibus, once surrounded by a moat and an outpost for soldiers.

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.

The castle of Carosino is an ancient ducal palace dating back to the 1400s built by the Simonetta family and then modified by the D'Ayala Valva counts in 1800. It has an imposing façade and is a national monument. It is located in the main square of the small Taranto town and today hosts cultural events.
