Bari

Bari extends along the Adriatic Sea with a historical peninsula containing narrow streets between two modern harbors, creating a significant maritime center.

The city originated as Barium during the Roman era, developing into a major Mediterranean port after the construction of Via Traiana in the 2nd century.

The Basilica of Saint Nicholas, constructed in the 11th century, holds the remains of Saint Nicholas and receives numerous pilgrims from Eastern Europe.

The city connects to major Italian destinations through the Bari Karol Wojtyla Airport and extensive train services from the central railway station.

Local women make orecchiette pasta on wooden tables in the streets of Bari Vecchia, maintaining centuries-old culinary traditions.
