Next to the marvelous Gulf of Manfredonia, the beautiful town of Trani rises by the sea. Narrow alleys rich in charm chase each other throughout the historic center, which, with its rich medieval past, attracts thousands of tourists every year. Right on the waterfront, in front of the marina, stands the beautiful Cathedral of Trani, another magnificent example of Apulian Romanesque architecture. Built during the Norman domination starting from the year 1099, it was commissioned by the Byzantine bishop after the death and canonization of San Nicola Pellegrino
