Trip to Barletta in Puglia
In Puglia on the Adriatic Sea, there is the city of Barletta that had a great bloom commercial and cultural during the Middle Ages. Like many historic cities in Italy, the city of Barletta is also made up of a more modern nucleus and an older nucleus where the monuments of the city.
Walking through Via Vittorio Emanuele II, I come across the wonderful Basilica of the Holy Sepulchre built in the twelfth century in Gothic style. Near the Basilica, I admire the giant, and famous all over the world, Bronze Colossus that is said to be a native of Constantinople.
I head towards the Adriatic coast, where next to the Castle, is the Cathedral of Santa Maria Maggiore built in the mid-twelfth century in typically Romanesque style. The cathedral is not only the main hub of the religious life of the city, but also its urban planning milestone, being the city of Barletta developed from the ecclesiastical center from the current cathedral.
