Trani lies along the Adriatic coast in Apulia, a position that shaped it for centuries as a maritime and trading centre. At the harbour’s edge stands the Romanesque Cathedral of San Nicola Pellegrino, built from the pale local stone known as pietra di Trani; its freestanding bell tower is one of the port’s defining landmarks. The 13th-century Castello Svevo, commissioned by Emperor Frederick II, reflects the city’s strategic importance. Trani’s old quarter also retains evidence of its medieval Jewish community, including the Scolanova synagogue.
