Only recently, in fact, Trani has assumed the importance of being the capital of the province, along with bordering cities Barletta and Andria, going out from the province of Bari.

To breathe the atmosphere of Trani adequately, we must certainly go to the the small harbor area, which then connects with the elegant promenade.

We have to start from the marvelous cathedral, made of Trani white stones, which recalls clearly the Apulian Romanesque style, and which alone gives a sense of perspective hypnosis, with colors that change according to the hour and the days, and at night, joining lights waterfront, are simply dreaming.

Without leaving the sea, that never leaves us, we have to admire the fort and castle. The first, which was built under Frederick II, has the typical structure of Frederick’s castles of this area.

Unique, however, is the fort as a building, erected to clear security of the entire city, particularly the coastal zone.

Dominating here is a light color, which draws almost a pearl gray.

Walking slowly along this route, both day and night, you can taste the full two features of this pearl: atmosphere and morphology. The promenade, in fact, with its boats, dinghies, fishing boats, its lights, the locals and the people crowding the streets, offering the typical atmosphere of Southern Italy, which in summer reaches its apotheosis and offers difficult emotions to describe , and we have to just live. A closer look, from one of the waterfront boss, describes a graceful circular, slightly irregular, typical of a raw pearl.

Finally elegance. This adjective can not breathe only on the seafront, but around the old center, with its art and its spaces to live.
