Castello Aragonese

The Castello Aragonese, officially Castel Sant'Angelo, guards the navigable canal at the tip of Taranto's old town island. The present fortress with its round towers was rebuilt in 1487–1492 for King Ferdinand I of Naples, probably to a design by Francesco di Giorgio Martini. The Italian Navy uses it and shows visitors round on guided tours.
