Province of Bari, Former administrative province in Apulia, Italy
Description
The Province of Bari was an administrative region in southeastern Italy containing 41 municipalities spread between the Adriatic coast and inland territories. The area included both urban centers and rural zones with varying geography and settlement patterns.
History
The province was founded in 1860 during Italian unification and functioned as an administrative system until January 1, 2015. On that date it became the Metropolitan City of Bari, marking a restructuring of regional governance.
Culture
The province consolidated agricultural traditions through olive groves, vineyards, and cherry orchards, with each municipality developing specific cultivation methods and products.
Practical
The main localities were historically connected by roads and railway lines radiating from Bari throughout the territory. Today visitors can explore the former municipalities independently or join organized tours to discover different areas at their own pace.

The region contained Alberobello, a village with hundreds of whitewashed stone houses known as trulli that today form a UNESCO World Heritage site. These traditional structures showcase a distinctive building method that has survived for centuries in this particular area.
