Basilica San Nicola

Reviewed By RCZ953 - Paola, Malta

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

Cattedrale di San Sabino

Reviewed By TheMarshal84 - Liverpool, United Kingdom

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.

Il Succorpo della Cattedrale di Bari

Reviewed By MikaTravels

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.
