Trani’s historic center is defined by its white limestone architecture and maritime heritage. The 11th-century Romanesque cathedral sits directly on the Adriatic coast, while the 13th-century Swabian Castle reflects the city's strategic importance under Frederick II. The Giudecca district features medieval synagogues like Scolanova and the Sant'Anna Museum, showcasing one of Southern Italy's oldest Jewish communities. Along the harbor, the 12th-century Templar church of Ognissanti and the scenic Villa Comunale gardens offer views of the fishing port and defensive fortifications.
