Bari is a port city in southern Italy, 41 miles from Matera, and is known for its medieval-era structures. Stroll past the 12th-century Castello Svevo and enter the walled Old Town to discover quaint churches, alleys, and squares. The Romanesque San Sabino Cathedral, with its underground Museo del Succorpo della Cattedrale, Christian basilica and Roman ruins, is an important site. The iconic 11th-century Basilica of Saint Nicholas houses the saint’s relics, a magnificent gold ceiling, a crypt and a cathedral or Bishop’s Throne. Walk along the waterfront to the Murat quarter and savor its 19th-century architecture, boutiques, cafes, and bars. At the Archaeological Museum of Santa Scolastica, you can learn more about Bari’s 4000-year-old history, with exhibits including prehistoric lithic tools, ceramics, coins, stone and terracotta sculptures, and engraved gems.
