Barletta, Italy is a city in Northern Apulia with 93,104 inhabitants. It is currently in the province of Bari, but will become the government seat of the new province of Barletta-Andria-Trani when that province is inaugurated in 2008. It is famous for the Colossus of Barletta, a bronze statue, probably representing Roman Emperor Theodosius II. It was the location of La Disfida di Barletta (the challenge of Barletta), a 1503 battle during which 13 Italians commanded by Ettore Fieramosca defeated the French. In the territory of Barletta there is an archeological site of Canne della Battaglia(in Latin Cannae), where there was the famous battle between Romans and Carthaginians with the general Hannibal. The city has one gold medal for military valour and another one for the civil valour, for its resistance to the Nazi invasion during World War II.
The city is endowed with a very long, sandy coast streching to both the east and the west from the commercial port. Along the coast, there are various attractive beaches and trees to the west which create a nice environment for tourists. The principle monuments of the city are the castle (home to the civic museum), the Colossus of Barletta (a large bronze statue), the nearby Basilica of San Sepolcro (a Romanesque church with particular Oriental influences from Jerusalem, since in the period of the crusades the pilgrims came from a church adjoining a hospital), the Cathedral (a good example of the fusion of Gothic and Roman styles), the Cantina of the Challenge, the Palace of the Marra (a united example of Baroque style that is outside Salent and near the home of the pinacotec), the archeological site of the Canne della Battaglia, the location of the famous clash between the Roman troops and Hannibal in 216 B.C.
