Also called Ponte San Francesco di Paola, the swing bridge was opened in 1887 and then later refurbished in 1957.
was created to unite the island in the old (I will not use the term old town) to the new town or village umbertino.
The swing bridge separates the Mar Grande and Mar Piccolo.
E 'normally closed but opens to allow passage of ships and on the feast of our patron saint San Cataldo . During the opening of the bridge, Taranto is virtually divided into two and the operation of opening and closing takes about twenty minutes.
