Bari Old Town – Bari Vecchia – Italy (4K)

By



Bari is a very charming city, the third-largest city in Southern Italy, in order of the population. Walking through the streets of Bari Vecchia (Bari Old Town) means feeling the local culture, history and tradition, art and architecture, but also typical food. Bari city, located in Puglia Region, Southern Italy, in the old days called Barium (Latin name) has been developed on the Adriatic coastline after the Via Traiana was built.
None knows the exact origins of the town, probably the Bronze Age or a colony of Crete.
Surely it’s developed under the Roman Empire. Then it was dominated by Arabians and Normans but, it reflourished under the Swabian domination when Frederick II has built the magnificent Swabian Castle as a gateway to the old town. After years, all the impressive buildings on the beautiful seafront were built under the Fascist Regime. One of those is the majestic building of Fiera del Levante, the international fair which still gives the city an important and strategic role connecting all the Mediterranean countries. While you stroll through the old town narrow streets, you’ll meet the magnificent romanesque Basilica of Saint Nicholas (the city’s patron saint).
It was built during the 11th century and remodeled several times over the centuries. It is a significant destination for religious tourism.
Pilgrims from all over the world come to Bari, especially from Eastern Europe, to pray on the foot of Saint Nicholas’s tomb beside the Russian Orthodox Chapel.
Few steps from the Swabian Castle and the Basilica stands another extraordinary sample of Apulian Romanesque architecture: the Cathedral of Saint Sabinus. The Cathedral, with its baroque crypt, it’s one of the most important jewels of Bari city. Bari has its own culinary tradition.
Almost everywhere, you can taste typical Bari food. Focaccia, panzarotti, sgagliozze, popizze are examples of simple and humble street food, but many are the dishes and delicacies. You can taste them in almost all the restaurants, trattoria and osteria in the old town. Every Sunday, you can taste fresh and raw fish at a little fish market on the jetty Saint Nicholas, also known as N’dèrr’a la lanze. Here you can easily touch the folklore and local culture while you admire the docked typical fishing boats

    I enjoyed the walking tour. Surprisingly busy at night. I guess things are getting back to normal. I'll say again that I just love all of the brick roads and sidewalks, and obviously the buildings. Back to the night time again. I could hear the wind a little. Was the weather ok out at night? Nice share👍👍Like 52
