About Bari

Bari is the port city of Puglia on the Adriatic, with a maze-like old town, a medieval basilica holding the relics of St Nicholas and a long seafront.

Bari's old town, Bari Vecchia, is a tangle of white lanes and tiny squares on a peninsula pointing into the Adriatic, and many of its streets feel more like shared courtyards. The Basilica of San Nicola, begun in 1087 to house the relics of St Nicholas, draws both Catholic and Orthodox pilgrims, and the cathedral and the Swabian castle stand close by.

Top-ranked sights in Bari: Swabian Castle (Castello Svevo), Trulli of Alberobello World Heritage Site (Trulli di Alberobello), Piazza del Ferrarese.
