Cathedral of Trani - Cathedral of Santa Maria Assunta

The Cathedral of Santa Maria Assunta (Cathedral of Trani) sometimes referred to as Santo Nicola Pellegrino, is the main place of Catholic worship in the city of Trani, in Puglia, mother church of the Archdiocese of Trani-Barletta-Bisceglie and, since 1960, minor basilica.

It is an example of Apulian Romanesque architecture.

Its construction is linked to the events of San Nicola Pellegrino, dating back to the era of Norman domination.

It was built using Trani stone, a building material typical of the area: it is a limestone tuff, extracted from the quarries of the city, characterized by a very light pink color, almost white.

The church stands out for its showy transept and for the use of the pointed arch in the passage located under the bell tower, a phenomenon not widespread in Romanesque architecture.
