Taranto was founded in 706 BC by Dorian immigrants hailing from Sparta. Its origin is quite peculiar; the founders were Partheniae, sons of unmarried Spartan women and perioeci (free men, but non-citizens of Sparta). Taranto is the third-largest continental city in southern Italy and an important commercial and naval port with well-developed steel and iron foundries, oil refineries, chemical works, naval shipyards and food-processing factories. The city is filled with several famous landmarks which include; Castello Aragonese, National Archaeological Museum of Taranto-Marta, Taranto Cathedral, Cheradi Islands, Ponte Girevole, Corso Due Mari, and several others.
