Terlizzi, Administrative commune in Metropolitan City of Bari, Italy.
Description
Terlizzi is a commune in the Metropolitan City of Bari located on flat plains at 191 meters elevation. It features narrow streets, town squares, and surrounding farmland that define the appearance and layout of this small Italian settlement.
History
The town first appears in written records in the 8th century when a Lombard ruler transferred his territory to the Abbey of Montecassino. The region subsequently experienced shifts in power between Byzantine and other authorities that shaped its development.
Culture
The Cathedral of San Michele Arcangelo stands as the heart of the town's religious life, displaying wooden sculptures and paintings that reflect local devotion. The square surrounding it pulses with daily activity, where residents gather and socialize throughout the day.
Practical
The town is best explored on foot, as the narrow streets of the old center are not designed for vehicles. Wear comfortable shoes since the pathways are uneven and paved with cobblestones, especially if you want to visit the older quarters.
Did you know?
A Norman-era clock tower stands in the town center and houses one of the largest functioning clock mechanisms in Europe. Its inner workings and mechanical systems have been preserved across centuries, attracting visitors interested in historical timekeeping devices.
