Cattedrale di Trani, Trani

Beautiful Basilica on a large square by the sea with great view to nearby castle. We parked easily at the nearby port where fresh fish were being sold straight off the back of the boats. Under restoration when we were there, the exterior nearly complete and stunning to look at with onlt a small rear section still behind scaffolding. Only the crypt of interior open, but fun to visit. In the crypt are the relics of St. Nicholas the wanderer, not themore famous St Nick. Basilica from 1100, built over a church from 400AD.

It was a visit from abroad, I did not enter the church, it is a beautiful area, a file of interest in the architecture of the area and the church that the baa was made of local materials and local stone, so it is very special and a reference to the ancient Italian organic architecture
