Bari

The second-biggest city in southern Italy after Naples, Bari boasts a population of well over 300,000 inhabitants. It’s a university town with a vibrant nightlife. The Basilica holds the bones of St. Nicholas, who is perhaps more commonly known by the moniker, Santa Claus.

A brief history of Bari

It’s likely that the area in and around Bari has been inhabited since 1500 BC. The city, and more specifically its port grew in influence and power under the Romans. It became in independent Duchy and was part of the Kingdom of Naples from 1558 until it joined a unified Italy in 1860. During WWII, it was the only European city to experience chemical warfare when, in 1943 German bombers hit a cache of mustard gas.

Exploring Bari’s historic centre and beyond

The historic city centre is full of beauty. Head out into its winding, medieval streets and you’ll find Basilica San Nicola where the bones of St. Nicholas rest, the beautiful, Romanesque Bari Cathedral that houses the relics of St. Sabinus and many wonderful museums. However, parking in Bari’s historic centre is limited to permit holders. Outside of this quarter, there is much more available parking both on-street and in car parks. The city also is well serviced by public transport with buses being readily available.
