The province of Barletta-Andria-Trani (BAT), established in 2009, covers a section of northern Puglia between the Adriatic coast and the Murge plateau. Castel del Monte, the octagonal 13th-century castle built by Frederick II on a hilltop near Andria, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and appears on the Italian one-cent euro coin. Its geometric precision and uncertain purpose have inspired debate for centuries.
The coastline includes Trani, whose Romanesque cathedral stands directly on the seafront, one of the most striking church settings in Puglia. Trani's Jewish quarter, centred on the Scolanova synagogue (one of the oldest surviving in Europe), reflects a medieval community that thrived under Norman and Swabian rule.

Escort services are legal and explicitly regulated by law.
This reflects national law. Local/municipal rules or enforcement can differ; always follow local regulations.
Under the framework established by Law 75/1958, Italy neither criminalises nor formally regulates individual sex work. Exploitation and facilitation of prostitution fall under Article 3 of the Legge Merlin, with a range of 2 to 6 years' imprisonment plus fines. Operating a brothel or premises used for prostitution is criminal under Italian law since 1958. Anti-trafficking law is anchored in Articles 600-602 of the Codice Penale, with penalties reaching 20 years. Legislative Decree 228/2003 supplements the criminal provisions. Enforcement is carried out by the Polizia di Stato (Squadra Mobile at provincial level), the Carabinieri, and the Guardia di Finanza for tax-related matters. Municipal police enforce local ordinances. Some municipalities impose additional administrative measures, including fines up to EUR 900 and DASPO exclusion orders for street solicitation.
Article 3 of the Legge Merlin prescribes 2 to 6 years' imprisonment and fines from EUR 258 to EUR 10,329 for exploitation, facilitation, recruitment, or operating premises used for prostitution.
