The Island Go past the Swing Bridge and head straight towards old town, where you will see the two Doric columns  of the Greek temple and the Castel Sant'Angelo, known as Castello Aragonese.  Excavations revealed that this castle was built on earlier Greek, Byzantine and Norman-Swabian-Angevin constructions, but was later rebuilt in 1487 - 1492 by the will of Ferdinand of Aragon.  During a 90 minute guided tour, you can see 4 round towers, walkways, tunnels and the Renaissance Chapel of St Leonardo  (tel:   39099753438,) Web:   www.castelloaragonesetaranto.it   9.30 - 11.30  - 14-16-18-20-22-30-24)   Then enter inside the pittaggi, which are old town districts with narrow streets and decadent charming buildings.
