Overlooking a suggestive port where characteristic fishing boats abound and dominated by the impetus of its most distinctive symbol, that of the splendid Romanesque Cathedral, the city of Trani imposes itself with its breathtaking scenery, rich in history and harmonious architectural lines, both permeated of the influence of Frederick II of Swabia, who made Trani his maritime fortress. The history of the city develops over the centuries, becoming the protagonist of its maximum splendor in the '400, the century in which it is formed as a fundamental maritime and exchange center of the lower Adriatic and houses an arsenal of the Serenissima Republic of Venice. Along a consistent time span, which extends from the Middle Ages until the 1700s, many noble palaces rose within the city limits, which have always contributed to enhancing its already appreciable heritage. Itinerary: • Start of the visit with the port, symbolic place of the city. The happy position made it ideal for commercial exchanges which, during the reign of Frederick II, contributed to enrich the city; • Continuation of the visit to the Fortino, the Villa Comunale and the Cathedral of Trani; • Visit to the Swabian Castle (payment of the entrance ticket on site). The Castle was built in 1233 under Frederick II of Swabia (hence the name of the fortress) and has undergone various changes over the centuries
