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.

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.

On Via Arco Basso, local women sitting in the sun making amazing pasta by hand in various flavours. They sell them in the Piazza near the castle.
