Bari - Arab flair on the Adriatic
Rarely offers a city in such a confined space such different faces. Bari, with a population of nearly 350,000 is one of the largest cities in southern Italy. Located on the Adriatic part of the Mediterranean, Bari and the surrounding area were of great importance in the past centuries, in particular from the perspective of agriculture.

The city of Bari is easy to separate into two parts. Especially the old town you should treat yourself to for a few hours.
North of the Corso Vittorio Emanuele II is the old town, which visually kidnapps one in an almost Arab world. Most homes have no more than two storeys. The winding streets act cute and neat. The white buildings are mostly neat and worth seeing. Highlights of a city tour is the Basilica of San Nicola near the quayside and the San Sabino Cathedral. But who closes his eyes, could imagine a mosque instead of churches - it would certainly. The Basilica of San Nicola as landmark of the city of Bari is definitely something. Every third Sunday of the month an antique market takes place around the church. Impressive presents itself the Castle Svevo at the western edge of old town. The castle overlooking the Grand Harbour was built in several stages already starting from the 13th century. The San Sabino Cathedral is witness to a dark era of Bari. In 1156 the town was completely burned down to quell a rebellion. Only the San Sabino remained.
South of the avenue Corso Vittorio Emanuele II, the capital of Puglia is barely recognizable. No trace of the beautiful buildings and the narrow streets.Like a chessboard presents itself the modern cityscape. From the famous Theatro Petruzelli only the facade has remained. The former fourth-largest opera house in Italy was arson-ridden in the early 90s. The Pinacoteca Provinciale you should definitely pay a visit to. Here you can marvel at one of the finest collections of paintings in southern Italy. Those who prefer to indulge in a shopping tour instead of the museum should look around in Via Sparano. Here are the most beautiful shops of the city. Again and again small cafes invite for a break. If it gets too hot in the summer months, a short tour in the Museo Archeologico on campus is recommended.
"Alberobello" is the picturesque center of "delle Murge" region with whitewashed cylindrical stone constructions with typical domed roof.
