Piazza Maria Immacolata

At the heart of the new city, Piazza Maria Immacolata is the perfect spot for a stroll for the people of Taranto. The square acts as a hub for the most lively area of the city, from where bars, clubs and various commercial activities branch out.\n\nFrom it originate the longitudinal lively streets Tommaso d’Aquino and Federico di Palma, the shopping streets of Taranto. The square is therefore the city’s drawing room, a crucial point, a meeting place, a social hub and often the stage for various events ranging from concerts to performances.\n\nIts center, oval-shaped and itself enclosed in the rectangular space defined by buildings of different eras, is characterized by a fountain dominated by two intertwined marine creatures, set in a circular basin surrounded by a crown of low hedges and tall palm trees.
