Indulge the senses of sight and taste with a tour that combines Apulia’s medieval architecture with the authentic taste of the region at one of its olive oil mills.
Your trip starts with a visit to the magnificent Cathedral of Trani, built in the Romanesque style in honour of the city’s patron saint, Saint Nicholas. Constructed with the local sandstone, its distinctive white colour contrasts dramatically with the blue of the Adriatic sea. Cameras at the ready!
Next stop will be the Giovecca, or Jewish Quarter, built entirely of white stone. Feast your eyes on the Scolanova and Scola Grande synagogues, built in the 13th century, converted to churches in the 16th century and then returned to the Jewish community in 2006.
Soak up the atmosphere as you wander round Trani’s vibrant marina and admire the view over the Adriatic before hopping on a coach for the final destination on the tour.
At Trani’s oil mill they harvest and mill olives from their orchards to produce the green gold that is the region’s famous extra virgin olive oil. Wander around the oil mill and then sample the produce – the perfect end to your experience of Trani.
