Trani, Puglia, Italy, January 2016 280
The Castle of Trani is one of the most important and, despite the suffered mutations, one of the best legible among the castels erected from the emperor Federico II of Swabia to guardianship of his favorite Kingdom of Sicily, inherited by his mother, the princess Norman Constanza of Altavilla.
The foundation of the castel, on a rocky more low in comparison to the firm earth and probably isolated since the origin, it involved the destruction of a modest outpost of look-out, a small tower of referable watch to the centuries X - XI, recovered under the actual entry.
Important datum on the coast pugliese of the castels system of Federico II, in the XIII century the most modern of Europe, rises not too far from the famous cathedral, strategically situated to the center of a roadstead, whose low backdrops would always be revealed a good natural defense, both from the fury of the waves and from possible attacks on the northern front.
