Store your luggage around Taranto with Bounce
Taranto is one of the major cities of the Puglia region, Italy, and the capital of the province of Taranto. It lies on the Salento Peninsula on the northern inlet of the Gulf of Taranto, positioned around two large bays, Mar Grande and Mar Piccolo, hence its nickname, “the city of the two seas.”
The city owes its diversity of architectural styles to the numerous invasions it experienced throughout history. Taranto, or Taras to the ancient Greeks, was one of Magna Graecia’s leading cities and most important commercial centers. It peaked in prosperity and military power in the 4th century under the scientist and great philosopher Archytas. Then it suffered in many wars and fell into the hands of a great military leader, Carthaginian general Hannibal. It also became part of the Byzantine Empire, was under the Saracens, and witnessed invasions by the Spanish and French.
Stop by the National Archaeology Museum to learn more about the history of the city and Southern Italy through the artifacts and objects that belonged to the ancient people who lived in the area. You should also tour Città Vecchia (Old Town), the city’s ancient heart with a maze of narrow alleyways and spectacular historical attractions.
