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

A charming Romanesque Church in the heart of the old city, Cattedrale di San Sabino is definitely worth a look if your religious or not. Built over the ruins of the Imperial Byzantine cathedral destroyed in 1156 by William I 'Wicked' of Sicily, the building is mostly 12-13 century in construction and holds artistic treasures that span the cities long and at times complex past. Free (as most cathedrals in Italy are), and a great way to stay out of the rain (if you're visiting offseason). please allow 20-40 mins, if you just wish to see the cathedral on its own.

Piazza Ferrarese has always been one of the access points to the old town which, with its narrow streets, alleys and small openings, extends from Piazza Ferrarese - Piazza Mercantile up to the Normanno -Svevo castle. During recent restoration, which involved not only the square but also the surrounding buildings, a short stretch of the ancient Via Appia – Traiana came to light, built by the Romans in the early second century A.D. Nowadays the square is filled with very busy bars and restaurants and, together with Piazza Mercantile, has become a must for those enjoying Bari’s nightlife. Charming and romantic evening views of the brightly lit seafront can be enjoyed from the square and the access ramp to Via Venezia. It is the perfect place to hold concerts, artistic performances and especially the majestic illuminations that accompany the festival which honours of the patron saint of Bari, San Nicola.

Narrow streets of old Bari with many historic buildings, nice churches and typical southern relaxed pace of life. Just enjoy walking around, have some snack and maybe even buy some handmade pasta, prepared just in front of you at the streets.
