Trani

A Romanesque cathedral standing almost in the sea. Trani's white limestone duomo rises at the very edge of its Adriatic harbour, built from the late 12th century over the tomb of a young pilgrim-saint, its tall campanile a landmark for ships. Beneath the main church lie two lower churches stacked one under another, down to an early crypt, so the building descends through centuries as you go down. Trani was a busy medieval port with one of the earliest maritime law codes and a large Jewish quarter. Pale against the blue, its cathedral is Puglia's most photographed.
