  We were lucky to go on a day that was not busy. We had a great guide that was a Naval officer. He had been at the fort for several years and had the history and archeological items down pat. The tour covers history of the site for many centuries and he showed us virtually the whole castle. I would think kids would really enjoy.

  Really wonderful castle & a must for anyone vaguely interested in te history of Taranto & the med in general. What was really surprising is that they offer free guided tours - I think every hour , right up until the early hours.... a great service!

  The castel is in good condition and it offers the best landscape I ever seen in Italy. The caste is very easy to reach because is in a very central location. Don´t miss it!!!

  The architecture and views of this naval fortress is well worth visiting. The guide presented a detailed account of the history of the fortress. Exploring the various areas and the views both form the fortress and outside will not disappoint the traveller.

  Great grounds and beautiful views. You can only visit during specific times, which was ok as we saw enough just walking around the outside.

  We went hoping to book a guided tour in English, which are given by members of the Italian Navy. We were offered a guided tour there and then for just the 2 of us. The castle has such an interesting past and our guide was very knowledgeable and funny. We had a very enjoyable visit and would have liked to have stayed longer and looked at more of the exhibits.

  We were treated to a tour, just the 3 of us. The guide spoke excellent English and was very happy to answer any questions and it didn't cost us a penny. Check outside for tour times.

  I can't rate this experience more highly. We turned up at 9:30 and were offered a private guide because the other tourists were all Italian speaking. Our guide's English was excellent, as was his knowledge of the site and the history of Taranto. The tour focuses on the castle's changing structure through the ages (starting with the Greeks in around 2nd century BC). It was fascinating to see the evidence of this as well as hearing how the changes reflected the changes in warfare style and available weapons. All the guides are employed by the navy (ours was a submariner petty officer) and this experience gives an authentic perspective to the discussions on warfare styles and so forth. The details are really fascinating.Tours run every 2 hours or so (precise timetable that they adhere to), with the first one at 9:30 am and the last one at 1:30 am (not a typo!).

  The entrance and tour is free however, the tour guide spoke little english and we missed out a lot on the tour's presentation.
