The Taranto Maritime Military Arsenal, founded in 1889, is a pillar of the Italian Navy and a symbol of the city. Located on the Little Sea, it excels in shipbuilding and repair, contributing to the local economy and enhancing Taranto as a center of technological and maritime excellence. A historical attraction that underlines the strategic and industrial importance of the city.

The Government Palace of Taranto, located in the heart of the city, is an architectural jewel that reflects the elegance and history of the region. A perfect example of fascist style (designed by Armando Brasini, one of the major architects of the "regime"), it was built to house the headquarters of the Prefecture, the Police Headquarters and the Provincial Offices. It remains a symbol of administrative power and a cultural reference point for the city.

Originally named after Giordano Bruno, Piazza Maria Immacolata is a true living room of the city. Located to divide the two major shopping streets in Taranto (Via D'Aquino which extends from Corso Due Mari and Via di Palma which continues towards the Military Arsenal), the valuable urban space has been remodeled several times over the years until it took on its current appearance.

The San Francesco di Paola bridge in Taranto, better known as the "swing bridge" because of its ability to open for passing ships, is the structure that connects the island of the Old Town with the peninsula of the New Town. Inaugurated on May 22, 1887 by Admiral Ferdinando Acton, the bridge spans a navigable canal 375 meters long, 73 meters wide and 12 meters deep along its axis, which connects the Great Sea with the Small Sea. Due to the presence of the bridge, the width in the narrowest part of the canal is limited to 58 meters.

Il castello aragonese (o castel Sant'Angelo), con la sua pianta quadrangolare e il vasto cortile centrale, occupa l'estremo angolo dell'isola su cui sorge il borgo antico della città di Taranto.

The Cathedral of San Cataldo (or Duomo of San Cataldo) is the cathedral of Taranto.
