Trani Prayer Times

Prayer Times in Trani, Italy

Traniprayer times are calculated based on the city's precise geographic coordinates (41.2773°N, 16.4101°E) using the Muslim World League calculation method — the standard followed by most mosques in Italy. Times shown are for today's date and update automatically at midnight.

The five daily prayers — Fajr, Dhuhr, Asr, Maghrib, and Isha — are calculated from the sun's position relative to Trani's latitude and longitude. As the sun's declination changes throughout the year, prayer times shift by several minutes each day. This is why a Trani prayer time calendar for the full month is shown below — so you can plan ahead without checking daily.

How Trani's prayer times are worked out

Trani sits 3,114 km (1,935 miles) from the Kaaba in Mecca, so the Qibla from here is 128° from true north — you face southeast to pray. Fajr and Isha depend on how far the sun drops below the horizon, and Italy follows the Muslim World League method set by the Muslim World League: Fajr begins when the sun is 18° below the horizon, and Isha when it reaches 17°. A city that used ISNA's 15° instead would get a noticeably different Fajr — which is why the method, not just the coordinates, decides the answer.

Day length is what really moves the timetable in Trani. Measured with the Muslim World League method, the longest daily fast here — from Fajr to Maghrib — runs about 17h 19m around June, while the shortest is roughly 10h 51m in December: a swing of 6h 28m across the year. That spread is set by Trani's latitude (41.28°N); cities nearer the equator barely vary, while far-northern ones swing by many hours.

Trani sits close to the meridian of its Europe/Rome time zone, so the sun peaks within 3 minutes of clock noon and Dhuhr lands near midday — today at 1:02 PM. Dhuhr always tracks the sun's peak, not the clock. The nearest cities we also publish times for are Bisceglie, Andria, Barletta — close enough that their times differ from Trani's by only a few minutes.
