Orthodox Church of Saint Nicholas, Bari, Eastern Orthodox church in Carrassi district, Bari, Italy
The Orthodox Church of Saint Nicholas is a brick building designed according to Russian Revival architectural principles located in the Carrassi district. Its interior contains ceremonial spaces arranged for Eastern Orthodox worship and religious gatherings.
The Imperial Orthodox Palestine Society initiated construction in 1913 under architect Alexey Shchusev's design leadership. This project represented the reach of Russian Orthodox influence into Southern Italy during the early 20th century.
The congregation gathers here to practice Eastern Orthodox traditions and participate in religious services according to their faith. Visitors can observe how these traditions shape the daily rhythm and practices within this sacred space.
The church is located on Corso Benedetto Croce and welcomes visitors interested in Orthodox Christian practices. Regular services are held throughout the year, so it is helpful to check visiting hours before planning your visit.
The structure showcases the Pskov-Novgorod architectural style, which differs from the Moscow-Yaroslavl design typically seen in Russian churches abroad. This regional northern Russian style gives the building a distinctive appearance that stands out from other Orthodox churches in Western Europe.
