Guided tour Trani: the pearl of the Adriatic Cathedral and Jewish quarter

Beginning of the visit

My guided tours of Trani will take you on a discovery of a fascinating city, often called the Pearl of the Adriatic because of its beauty and location.
The picturesque fishing port is organized around the majestic cathedral and the maze of medieval streets that characterize the historic center.

Port of Trani and Swabian Castle

We will begin our route from King Manfredi Square, exploring the port of Trani, famous for its picturesque views and traditional boats.
We will continue to the Swabian Castle, where I will tell you the many stories and legends related to this imposing building, built at the behest of Frederick II of Swabia.

Cathedral of St. Nicholas Pilgrim

The visit will continue with the Cathedral of St. Nicholas Pellegrino, located next to the sea.
The cathedral is considered “the Queen of Cathedrals” by French archaeologist Francois Lenormant for its splendid Apulian Romanesque architecture.
Inside, we will visit the crypt that holds the relics of Trani’s patron saint.
The cathedral’s unique location, directly overlooking the sea, offers an unparalleled visual and spiritual experience.

Jewish Quarter and Synagogues

Trani also boasts a rich Jewish history, having hosted the largest Jewish community in southern Italy during the Middle Ages.
We will walk through the Jewish quarter, discovering synagogues and signs of this important cultural heritage.
I will tell you about the first navigation code in history, the Ordinamenta Maris, which originated in Trani itself.

Conclusion and tasting of Moscato di Trani

We will end the visit by recommending a tasting of Moscato di Trani, a renowned fortified wine inextricably linked to the city.
This sweet final note will allow you to savor a piece of the local wine tradition.
