Bari, the capital city of Apulia, is situated on a small peninsula facing the Adriatic Sea. The old city, dating back to the Middle Age, has always been the door to the Balkans and to the Eastern lands. Starting from the XI century, the city was built by the Normans and hosted one of the most important historical event in the history of the city: the arrival of the remains of St. Nicholas, from the Turkish city of Myra, and the building of the Duomo, where the remains have been kept for centuries. During the Renaissance, it became the capital city of the Dukedom of Bari, and hosted such monarchs as Bona Sforza, the niece of Ludovico II Moro, who became the queen of Poland. Come and feel the Middle Age vibes walking beside the ancient city walls, in the merchant squares of Piazza Ferrarese and Piazza del Mercantile, in the labyrinth of small streets and under the ancient decorated bows. The Dome of St. Nicholas, the Cathedral of St. Sabino and the Norman-Swabian Castle are just few of the many wanders that make Bari such a mysterious and magical city.
