Das Eigentum — Caporlando
Caporlando is a no-frills three-star near the Porto Mercantile, with a small pool and a terrace overlooking the Mar Grande. It feels like a practical base for travellers who want to explore Taranto's old town and museum without paying for resort extras. The lobby is tiled, bright and slightly dated — think 1990s business hotel. It suits cost-conscious couples or solo visitors who plan to spend most of their time out.
Chroniken von Taranto
Taranto was founded by Spartan colonists in 706 BC as Taras, growing into a powerful Greek city-state. The Romans renamed it Tarentum and built the Via Appia to connect it to Rome. Its historic centre, the Città Vecchia, sits on an island and is packed with Baroque churches and narrow alleys, but also suffers from industrial decay and depopulation. Today Taranto is a gritty port city with a huge steelworks, yet it retains an impressive archaeological museum (MArTA) and a strong seafood culture.

Top-Attraktionen in Taranto
💡 Don’t miss the marble floor mosaics near the altar — they’re original and patterned like a medieval carpet. The crypt is often quiet, and you can see the saint’s tomb. Dress modestly.
💡 Head straight to the second floor for the 'Ori di Taranto' gold collection — it’s the highlight. Allow 1–2 hours. Entry is €8 normally, but free on first Sundays.
💡 Start at Piazza Fontana and aim for the waterfront along Via Duomo. The best views are from the quayside near the Ponte Girevole. Go early morning to see fishermen mending nets.
💡 The best section is the Gravina di Riggio — a short walk from the car park. Bring sturdy shoes and water; there’s no shade. Wildflowers are spectacular in spring.
💡 Entry is cheap (€2–€5 depending on exhibitions), and the sunset view from the ramparts over the Mar Grande is worth every cent. Go on a weekday morning to avoid queues.
