★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Great facility. Day AND night tours. They advertised tours in English, but ours were in Italian. You cannot see the whole fort, and can't walk around unsupervised.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Impressive fort and prison. Such a rich history. Our guide did his best to explain the history in Italian and English but it was very hot, there were many chatty children and too much information. Wish we had an audio tour option.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ If you are in Taranto, you should definitely go see the castle. The castle is on the island which is the old city and pretty much the coolest thing to see there, as the old city itself is rather dilapidated. The entrance is free and you will be joined to a guided tour, which takes place every hour or so. The guided tour is held by a navy person that is assigned to the castle, since the castle itself belongs to the military. The tour is quite informative and takes you through the history and current affairs of the castle. If you liked the visit, do not tip the guide, as they are not allowed to take tips, rather donate to the "friends of the castle" association, which uses the funds for maintenance and repairs. The tour we had was in Italian, French and English and we absolutely loved our guide. Highly recommended

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ This castle has an amazing history. The free guided tour by a member of the Navy is very interesting. Our guide was extremely knowledgeable and passionate about history. We had no problem parking right outside the castle (however it is low season, February). I really recommend a visit here!

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ the Aragonese Castle is located on a small island. It is an impressive fortress with more than 1000 years of history. This complex not only served to defend the city, but was also used as a prison at times. It's nice to walk around there and you can take good photos if you have a good camera.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Nice location, freshly restored buildings. Inside some small rooms with old cannons. A nice location is down the stairs below the moveable bridge. Important: Building needs special permission from navy to enter.
