Trani's cathedral stands at the water's edge: pale-stone Puglian Romanesque mirrored in the harbour, one of the South's most elegant images and unrivalled at sunset. Beside it, Frederick II's Swabian castle rests its feet in the sea.
The medieval Giudecca, its Scolanova synagogue returned to worship after seven centuries, recalls one of southern Italy's most important Jewish communities. The port is a drawing room: aperitivo among moored boats, sea urchins and raw seafood, Moscato di Trani in the glass. An Adriatic pearl still sized for a stroll.
