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.

This beatiful palace is located on one of the main streets of Bari and it's owned by the family Mincuzzi that made it builded in 1928. The facade of the building is made up of a succession of columns, beaded pilaster, Ionic capitals, masks , and , above, there is the monumental family banner. For several years this palace was the symbol and one of most prestigious shops in Bari

One can climb the walls of the old city from various points, however the most memorable were at one end of it from a staircase on the right of St Nicholas Cathedral just beyond the archway in the street, or from the other end next to the old port past Piazza del Ferrarese. Visited just after sundown and the place was magical. The seaview and strand view is stupendous and the walkway itself is well illuminated. Would recommend highly and its free too.
