Barletta is a large commercial port situated on the Adriatic coast of [[Italy]] at the SE end of the Gulf of Manfredonia, 12 miles NW of the port of [[Bisceglie]] and 30 miles SE of the equally large commercial port of [[Manfredonia]]. The site is one of the oldest in southern Italy, being originally settled by the Phoenicians. Close inland of the town is the site of the ancient Battle of Cannae, where a huge Roman army was annihilated by the forces of Hannibal during the Second Punic War. The harbour has no facilities for yachts and should only be regarded as a port of refuge.

During the summer months, the prevailing winds in the Adriatic are light to moderate coastal sea breezes.  In spring and autumn, northerly winds are more frequent and can quickly rise to near gale force, especially in the northern Adriatic, where the much-feared “bora” is caused by high pressure over the mountains to the NE coupled with low pressure over southern Italy.  Fortunately, the fiercest “bora” is normally to be expected in the winter months.  Thunderstorms are occasionally experienced in spring and especially autumn and can be accompanied by violent winds of gale force and above.  Luckily they are rarely long-lasting.  In the southern Adriatic, the “Scirocco”, a S/SE wind blowing up from North Africa which can last for several days, is more common.  Unlike the “bora”, which can arrive without warning, a “scirocco” tends to build in strength over 24-48 hours, sometimes reaching gale force (especially in winter).

The old part of Barletta near the harbour has a few sites worth visiting.  The well-restored castle, originally Norman but much extended, was originally built to accommodate soldiers leaving for the Crusades. The cathedral of Santa Maria Maggiore (12th/14th century) was built on the site of an early Christian basilica and contains tombs dating back to the 3rd century AD.  Outside the Basilica del Santo Sepolcro in the old town is the famous Colossus of Barletta, a huge statue of an unknown eastern Roman emperor, reputedly recovered from the wreck of a ship returning from the sack of Constantinople during the Fourth Crusade in 1204.  The site of the ancient Battle of Cannae can also be visited 9 km SW of the city.

Barletta harbour from SE

Barletta is a large commercial port situated on the Adriatic coast of Italy at the SE end of the Gulf of Manfredonia, 12 miles NW of the port of Bisceglie and 30 miles SE of the equally large commercial port of Manfredonia. The site is one of the oldest in southern Italy, being originally settled by the Phoenicians. Close inland of the town is the site of the ancient Battle of Cannae, where a huge Roman army was annihilated by the forces of Hannibal during the Second Punic War.

Warning: The harbour has no facilities for yachts, both the Gurdia Costiera and the local Lega Navale will deny berth and should only be regarded as a port of refuge.

Weather

During the summer months, the prevailing winds in the Adriatic are light to moderate coastal sea breezes. In spring and autumn, northerly winds are more frequent and can quickly rise to near gale force, especially in the northern Adriatic, where the much-feared “bora” is caused by high pressure over the mountains to the NE coupled with low pressure over southern Italy. Fortunately, the fiercest “bora” is normally to be expected in the winter months. Thunderstorms are occasionally experienced in spring and especially autumn and can be accompanied by violent winds of gale force and above. Luckily they are rarely long-lasting. In the southern Adriatic, the “Scirocco”, a S/SE wind blowing up from North Africa which can last for several days, is more common. Unlike the “bora”, which can arrive without warning, a “scirocco” tends to build in strength over 24-48 hours, sometimes reaching gale force (especially in winter).

Sources for weather information:

  • There is a continuous (computerized voice) weather forecast on VHF 68 - first in Italian and then followed with an English translation
  • The same forecast is given in Italian and English on VHF coastal stations following a notification on channel 16
  • Navtex weather forecasts covering the Adriatic are broadcast from stations at Roma, Trieste, Kerkyra (Greece) and Split (Croatia)

The harbour is protected by two long breakwaters extending due N from the shore. The buildings of the city and silos at the port are clearly visible from distance. The harbour is entered from NNW. Depths in the entrance are 8.0 - 9.0 metres.
