Trani and its historical treasures

Castello di Trani is part of an imposing defensive system built by Frederick II of Swabia to protect the Kingdom of Sicily. It rises a short distance from the famous cathedral, strategically located in the center of a bay, whose shallow waters have always been an excellent natural defense, both from the fury of the waves and from possible enemy attacks. Interesting to visit the external walkways recently opened to the public. They give a picture of the castle of how it once worked.

Take the car and go to the monastery of column which is located south of the city of Trani. the monastery is closed for works and adaptation to new use. however it is interesting to take a nice walk that leads to the trabucco, under the monastery and towards the beach of Colonna. if the sun is shining it's nice to sit on the beach and watch the sea.
