Noci

Noci is a commune in the Metropolitan City of Bari situated on the Murge plateau with views across the surrounding landscape. The place has a historic center with narrow streets, traditional buildings, and open squares that shape its character.

The settlement began in the 6th century as a military outpost and experienced growth under Norman rule in subsequent periods.

The town maintains local traditions that shape how people use public spaces and gather for celebrations. Visitors can observe how the community gathers and interacts within the historic center.

The town is easy to explore on foot as the historic center is compact and most points of interest lie within walking distance. Wear sturdy shoes since the cobbled streets are steep and uneven in places.

The historic center contains unusual semi-public spaces called Tavola delle Gnostre that give the town's layout a distinctive structure. These in-between areas create an uncommon blend of private and public living within daily routines.
