Trani-5
The cathedral of Santa Maria Assunta also referred to as the cathedral Santo Nicola Pellegrino who was a fool for God as they said in the times of the Norman’s it is made of a local Trani quarried limestone tufa that has a faded characteristic pink glow that can be perceived in the right light.
The construction started in 1099 and was built on top of one of the oldest places of worship in Trani a 4th century chapel, the bell tower was a later addition and was erected between 1230-39 what really makes this cathedral unique is its two different facades depending if you look at it from the sea or the city.
This is my last shot of Trani for this series but it will not by my last visit, I enjoyed every minute there and loved the feel of the city while wandering the narrow streets there are many great places to eat fresh seafood and drink fine wine with locals who will make you feel at home in their city.
I took this on Sept 18, 2016 with my D750 and Nikon 24-85 f3.5-4.5 Lens at 24mm 1/60 sec f/9 ISO 200 processed in LR, PS +Lumenzia, Topaz , and DXO
