Description
Taranto is a coastal city in Apulia, Southern Italy. It is the capital of the Province of Taranto and is an important commercial port as well as the main Italian naval base. It is the third-largest continental city of Southern Italy. The photograph of the fish sculpture was located at one end of the Bridge Ponte Girevole (Swing Bridge). This bridge extends over the channel separating the Old City from the modern section (Borgo Nuovo) in Taranto. Two arms of the bridge rotate or swing open to permit vessels and ships to enter the channel. It is operated by two hydraulic turbines situated in Castello Aragonese. The bridge was constructed originally in 1887 and dedicated to St Francis of Paola, the patron saint and protector of boatmen, mariners and naval officers. You can see the Aragonese Castle, a military fort, from Corso due Mari.
