Something hits you immediately when you turn the corner and find yourself in front of this cathedral overlooking the sea. The strong contrast between these imposing walls and the endless blue behind him. It 's a perfect design. Colors that meet and conflict with a force that surprises you and you like.
Cathedral sea \u200b\u200bof \u200b\u200bTrani is dedicated to St. Nicholas the Pilgrim, and was founded in 1097. The story goes that St. Nicholas Pellegrino died in 1094, during a pilgrimage to the church of Santa Maria, with fatigue and the blows of the beatings inflicted by the knights who teased him. Just where Saint Nicholas died, three years later, the cathedral was later built in the crypt and it is found his remains.
Inside there are three overlapping churches. The main door is not original. The truth is exposed inside the door, immediately on the right as you enter.
sin stands in the altar area, only fragments of the mosaics that were probably once in the whole church.
We are close to the harbor, packed with people and boats (some very nice!), And let us curious about these recordings that bear the names of consulates that once looked out on these roads and who now find themselves perhaps decorate the entrance to a bar.
Continuing with a look ahead, we find the Swabian castle, dating back to 1233, that seems to plunge into the sea.
Before getting in the Jewish quarter where there was yet another sip coffee on ice and deliver fuel to pulcione with a nice ice cream.
The narrow streets made it possible to more easily control from external aggression and then to defend themselves.
We see the synagogue and the churches dedicated to the Roman Catholic Church were specifically positioned near the Jewish quarter in order, so to speak, to defend the religious boundaries!
There are many churches and chapels in Trani. Many are gone, unjustly removed in the expansion of the city and in the search for new spaces, and we tell only a memory. It is said that the large number of churches was due to the vow made by sailors at the start and that meant, if they could go home, the construction of a church as a sign of thanks and gratitude for having survived.
