Province of Bari

The province extended over 5,138 square kilometers of territory in southeastern Italy, encompassing 41 municipalities between the Adriatic Sea and inland Apulia region.

The Province of Bari was established in 1860 during the unification of Italy and remained an administrative entity until January 1, 2015, when it became Metropolitan City of Bari.

The province consolidated agricultural traditions through olive groves, vineyards, and cherry orchards, with each municipality developing specific cultivation methods and products.

The territory maintained administrative functions through the capital city of Bari, coordinating services and infrastructure for more than 1.2 million inhabitants until 2015.

The province contained Alberobello, where hundreds of traditional limestone trulli houses define the architectural landscape of this UNESCO World Heritage site.
