Metropolitan City of Bari
Metropolitan City of Bari, Administrative division in Apulia, Italy
The Metropolitan City of Bari is an administrative region in southeastern Italy that brings together 41 municipalities across approximately 3,825 square kilometers. It stretches along the Adriatic coast and encompasses a mix of rural and urban settlements.
The region was converted from the Province of Bari to a Metropolitan City on January 1, 2015, marking an organizational restructuring. This change was part of a nationwide Italian reform aimed at strengthening local governance structures.
The area is marked by diverse local traditions, including the distinctive cone-roofed houses of Alberobello and the protected bread-making of Altamura. These crafts remain part of daily life and show the strong connections between individual towns.
The region uses telephone prefix 080 and postal codes between 70010 and 70132, which helps with navigation and communication. A well-developed railway and road network connects the various towns to one another.
The area is home to Alberobello, known for its unique trulli houses with cone-shaped roofs that are part of UNESCO World Heritage. This distinctive architecture is found nowhere else and clearly defines the landscape.
