HOW: Car from Altamura (1hr)
WEATHER: Hot
Trani es conocida como "la perla del sur" de Italia. Es una ciudad dĆ³nde el puerto es el protagonista y la catedral normanda parece estar flotando sobre el AdriĆ”tico. Yo la visitĆ© por la tarde-noche y disfrutĆ© de una cena espectacular en un lugar surrealista, con las mejores vistas del puerto. Os podĆ©is imaginar cenar en la azotea de una casa construida en una iglesia templaria??? Resulta que hace aƱos la Iglesia de Ognissanti vendiĆ³ un trozo a la familia de mis anfitriones, que constuyeron su original casa aprovechando parte de los muros templarios, asĆ que bĆ”sicamente su ducha es un absidiolo! Aprovecho para agradecerles la invitaciĆ³n a este lugar privilegiado.
Trani is known as "the pearl of the south" of Italy. It's a port city dominated by the Norman cathedral, which looks like it's floating on the Adriatic sea. I visited it in the evening and enjoyed a spectacular dinner in a surreal location with an amazing view of the port. Can you imagine having dinner at the rooftop of a house built in a Templar church??? Many years back, part of the Chiesa di Ognissanti was sold to my hosts family, who have built their original house sharing walls with the church, so basically they shower in an apse! I really thank them for the invitation to this extraordinary place.
