The National Archaeological Museum of Taranto (MArTA) is one of the most important archaeological museums in Italy and is a must-see for those wishing to discover the city's rich history. Located a short walk from the Pythagorean Palace, the museum houses a vast collection of artifacts that tell the story of Taranto and Magna Graecia, a period when the city was one of the most influential Greek colonies.
The Taranto Underground is a fascinating journey into the hidden heart of the city, allowing visitors to discover its extraordinary past through a network of hypogea, ancient passageways and caves. These underground passages bear witness to the different historical eras that have marked the city, from Magna Graecia to Roman times and the medieval period. An evocative experience to immerse yourself in the lesser-known but equally fascinating Taranto.
