About Bari
Puglia's regional capital and busy Adriatic port, where the tangled lanes of Bari Vecchia wrap around the Basilica di San Nicola. The Romanesque church holds the relics of Saint Nicholas, brought here in 1087 and still drawing Orthodox pilgrims, while local women shape orecchiette in the doorways.
