House For sale in Trani, Italy for 360.000 €

(Zimmo code: ZBI-YZGP1)

Set within the most ancient quarter of Trani, only a short stroll from the sea and the citys landmark streets, this is far more than an apartment: it is a restored fragment of history, shaped into an elegant two-level home of approx. 100 sq m. Once a 13th-century synagogue, later a church, the property has been carefully reimagined through a conservation-led restoration by Studio Piertito Cardillo (20192022), where heritage and modern design meet with remarkable balance.
The main level (around 70 sq m) is defined by its extraordinary volume up to 8 metres high and by original masonry surfaces revealed by hand, exposing centuries-old stone and tuff. Above, a 30 sq m mezzanine adds a private, versatile layer: an intimate sleeping area, a study, or a quiet retreat overlooking the dramatic space below. Linking the two is a striking helical staircase in delabré steel, both sculptural and purposeful, a contemporary signature that respects the buildings soul.
Historic elements remain integral and authentic: a ritual purification basin and two 18th-century plaques (1741 and 1754) sit within the narrative of the home, preserved as part of its identity. The property is deconsecrated and historically protected, and it is offered fully fitted with bespoke, made-to-measure furnishings, designed in harmony with the architecture a complete, ready-to-enjoy residence where nothing feels accidental.
Ideal for those seeking a distinctive home in Puglia, a refined pied-à-terre by the Adriatic, or a statement property where space, light and memory create a truly singular atmosphere.
