Barletta, wonder of Puglia

Barletta - We are in Puglia, among the natural wonders and villages where even the writer Carlo D'Azeglio decided to set one of the most beautiful Italian chivalric novels, The challenge of Barletta, in fact. A seaside town, with a great testimony of fishing, where we find the trebuchets, invented by man to allow fishing in the most difficult areas to do so.

Barletta currently has only one, at the behest of the citizens, as a reference point and symbol. The city is colorful murals made by a local artist to characterize the place even more but also to launch social messages. The city, which flourished in the late Middle Ages, still preserves its history and its characteristics, such as the Cathedral, of Romanesque and Gothic art. The Basilica of San Sepolcro which maintains a close link with the Holy Land, and then we find ourselves in front of the Palazzo della Marra, of Baroque architecture and home to important aristocratic families. The city is entirely surrounded by its ancient walls.
