Trani

Recently we travelled to a picturesque town called Trani, about 40 minutes from Bari. It is quite a nice, laid back town.

The main monument of Trani is the Cathedral, dedicated to St. Nicholas the Pilgrim, a Greek assassinated at Trani in 1094 and canonized by Urban II. It lies on a raised open site near the sea. Emperor Frederick II built a massive castle in Trani which we visted.
