Spartan hypogeum museum of Taranto

The Spartan hypogeum museum spreads across 800 square meters with four rooms extending 16 meters below street level and 4 meters under sea level.

The museum presents artifacts and exhibits chronicling Taranto's evolution from its Spartan foundation in the 8th century BC through the construction of Palazzo Beaumont Bonelli.

The museum displays archaeological findings and historical items that demonstrate the influence of Spartan civilization on the development of Taranto through centuries.

Located at Corso Vittorio Emanuele II 39, the museum requires advance reservations for guided tours to explore the underground chambers and exhibits.

The restoration of this underground museum took six years and was funded entirely by the Bellacicco family without external support.
