The foundation of Taranto took place when the Spartans arrived in Italy and took control over the former area of the actual city. Though, at the beginning, it was a really small Greek polis, thanks to the richness of its natural resources, soon became one of the most important cities of Magna Graecia. During the Middle Ages, Taranto was conquered by the Lombardi, the Byzantines, the Saracens and, finally, the Spaniards. Thanks to the Bourbons, the maritime port started to be built, even becoming one of the main ports all over Europe. Currently, the Spartan City of Italy has been established as one of the major touristic destinations in the whole world.
