TRANI:
Irresistible reminder of the impressive scenery of the sea that greets the visitor to Trani, and unforgettable sequence of images that shows the eyes of one who travels the coast and harbor of the city.

Castle, Cathedral Court, but also the twentieth-century public garden, which leads instead to civic and bourgeois characters that constitute the cultural roots of the modern city, are visible from the sea even better than from the ground like the sea that still await our visitors.
