With a population of around 92,427, Barletta is a sleepy coastal town in southern Italy that offers little to get excited about. The city's economy is centered around manufacturing concrete and cement, with agriculture providing a minor supplement. While Barletta boasts a long sandy beach and some historical landmarks, the area is plagued by persistent health issues like cholera outbreaks and high rates of diseases like tuberculosis. Bureaucracy is also a persistent headache, as the city served as a fortress for Spanish rulers for centuries. Overall, Barletta seems better suited for retirees seeking a quiet, affordable seaside town than ambitious young professionals.
