TARANTO, Italy - 4K HDR walking tour with captions
Description
Let's explore Taranto, the "City of Two Seas." In this one-hour walking tour, we will discover this less touristy city, exploring everything from its ancient Greek ruins to its modern seafront.
We begin at the Tempio Dorico site, the oldest temple ruins in Magna Graecia, before moving to the impressive Aragonese Castle that guards the city's canal.
Crossing the famous Ponte Girevole, we pass from the old island into the new city. Here, we stroll along the scenic seafront promenade and pause in the peaceful Giardini Garibaldi.
The journey continues into the heart of 19th-century Taranto. We'll walk along the grand Corso Umberto I and through lively piazzas before reaching Via Tommaso Nicolò d'Aquino, the city's main pedestrian shopping street.
Our path then leads us back into the winding lanes of the old town, following the historic Via Duomo to its stunning centerpiece: the Duomo di San Cataldo, the oldest cathedral in Apulia.
The tour closes with a final walk along the sea, returning through quiet, atmospheric lanes to our starting point at the Doric columns.
This complete city walk shows Taranto’s unique mix of Greek, medieval, and modern heritage. So join this POPtravel travel to experience a city that many travelers miss.
