Trani 4

According to legend Trani was founded by the son of Diomedes. It became important under the Normans who gave Trani a number of privileges. The town flourished under Frederick II, who built the castle. The glorious past is confirmed by the churches and residences of its old historic centre, including the XVIII century Palazzo Caccetta, Palazzo Quercia and Palazzo Bianchi.

 

The ancient town of Trani extends along the port into a small peninsula where the Cathedral of S. Nicola Pellegrino stands in a stupendous position directly beside the sea.
