a seaport of Naples, on the Adriatic, in the province and 25 miles N.W. of Bari. It is enclosed by walls and bastions, and has a citadel, but is not a place of any great strength. Some of the streets, especially near the harbour, are good, and lined with handsome houses; but, for the most part, the town is ill built. The cathedral is a large and ancient building, with a lofty spire, but its rich ornaments are not in very good taste. There are many other churches, several convents, a theatre, school, and orphan hospital. In the vicinity an esteemed sweet wine is produced; and the figs of Trani form, along with corn, oil, and silk, profitable articles of trade. The harbour was once deep and good, but has got silted up. Some cotton, grown in the vicinity, is here made into coarse cloth. Pop. 14,000.
