Hi to everyone!
Today I'd like to show you all an hidden gem of Southern Italy, situated in Puglia not so far from the best-known Bari and ALberobello. I'm talking about Trani, the "pearl of Adriatic Sea".
I've been there last August with my friends, we stayed in a small house near the characteristic touristic marina, just in the hystoric centre of the city.
Trani is just amazing. The whole city is built in Romaneque, with its unique pearl-coloured stone that assumes every shade of colour that Sun can give it. Notable it's the Arab influence, that makes Trani an unicum.
Beside that, food is just amazing (if you like eating fish, this is heaven for you) and people are warm and cozy like just in the Mediterranean you can find.
But i think I'm talking too much, I leave you to some photos I made to figure out what I'm talking about.

The Cathedral:
The big Romaneque cathedral is built just at like a metre from the sea, It's something I've never seen before!
Here it is from my house:
