Cappella di San Leonardo
Church· 2 min from marina (104m)
This small Catholic chapel was consecrated in 1474, making it one of Taranto's older surviving places of worship. It's dedicated to St. Leonard and Gottardo, patron saints of prisoners, women in labour, and livestock — an unusually specific combination that speaks to the everyday anxieties of medieval life. If you're drawn to lesser-known historic churches with a genuinely human story behind them, this one's worth seeking out.
