THE TARANTO ROUND - STOP BY STOP

HOLE 1 - PAR 3

Duomo di San Cataldo

Duomo di San Cataldo is a Roman Catholic cathedral and minor basilica in Taranto, Apulia, Italy. It is dedicated to Saint Catald and serves as the archiepiscopal seat of the Archdiocese of Taranto. The structure is designed in the Romanesque architecture style. The Byzantines built the cathedral in the 10th Century AD under Emperor Nicephorus II Phocas, and it was constructed over an earlier construction dating from the 5th century. Visitors should note that this site is the oldest cathedral in Puglia. Its presence in the city reflects a long history of religious administration and architectural evolution, from its early foundations to the Byzantine influence that shaped its current form. The building remains a central point of the Archdiocese of Taranto today.

Castello Aragonese

Look closely at the seven towers of the Castello Aragonese, a design attributed to Francesco di Giorgio Martini of Siena. This castle, also officially called the Castel San Angelo, is Italian national heritage. The present fortress was built for Ferdinand II of Aragon in 1496, though the site had older fortifications from Greek occupation in the third and fourth centuries BC. To strengthen the defenses, the low ground in front of the site was excavated in 1481 to create a moated position and allow boats to pass. While it served as a military stronghold that repelled an Ottoman attack in 1594, it shifted roles in 1707 when the Habsburgs converted it into a prison. You can imagine the tension here in 1799 when the pro-Bourbon Sanfedismi took French generals Jean-Baptiste Felix de Manscourt du Rozoy and Thomas-Alexandre Dumas prisoner.

Visitors can find the Gold of Taranto among the exhibits here.
