The National Archaeological Museum of Taranto, known as MArTA, was founded in 1887 in the former 18th-century convent of San Pasquale. Its collections trace Taranto and Apulia from prehistory to the early Middle Ages, with Greek pottery and sculpture from Magna Graecia, Roman mosaics and the goldsmith's work known as the Gold of Taranto.
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.
