Lonely Planet review for Castello Aragonese

Although Taranto’s medieval town centre is rundown, it is gradually being tastefully ­renovated and has a gritty and vibrant atmosphere. It is perched on the small island dividing the Mar Piccolo (Small Sea; an enclosed lagoon) and the Mar Grande (Big Sea). This peculiar geography means that blue sea and sky surround you wherever you go. Guarding the swing bridge that joins the old and new parts of town, the 15th-century Castello Aragonese is an impressive structure, currently occupied by the Italian navy.
