Beautiful church and highly evocative because of the story behind its dedication to Saint Nicholas, which is very much part of Bari's identity.

The interior of this cathedral is plain but given its age, it appears to be in excellent condition and is a good example of a structure of its time. But what really makes this a must see is the museum in the underground area (accessed from the lower level of the cathedral). The cost is only 3 Euros pp which is well worth it to see the ancient structures and mosaics which are presented with excellent lighting and some very interesting modern art.
