Storia comune di Bari provincia di Bari

Bari was inhabited since the Bronze Age. It was then inhabited by Peucezi and Romans that made it the Episcopal see. After the roman empire’s collapse it came under the Barbarian invasions and it perked up with the Normans and with the Swabians (Frederick 2nd of Swabia commissioned the Swabian Castle). During the XII and XIV century it was the sailing port for the Crusaders. Afterward it was dominated by Anjou, Aragoneses , Spanish and Venetians. In 1813 Gioacchino Murat expanded the old town beyond the medieval walls. During the twenty years of Fascism in Italy the seafront promenade was built and the first “Fiera del Levante” (“Fairy of the East”, one of the most important Italian fairy) was opened. This underlined the role of Bari as “Door to the East” so that the European Union gave to it the “European Gateway” credit.


Informazioni turistiche comune di Bari provincia di Bari

Bari is the capital of Apulia region. It is called the “Door to the eastern world” thanks to its position that overlooks on the Adriatic sea. Its territory spreads over a plain and steep area (the so-called “Hollow of Bari”) and along 42 km of coast. It is renowned to be the town that guards Saint Nicola’s relics: such a privilege makes Bari one of the dearest worship place to the orthodox community. With its port and its university it’s the second largest southern Italian metropolis. The town consists of two parts: the old town and a large XIX century quarter (“quartiere murattiano”) on which main streets there are lots of fancy and elegant shops. The old town is nowadays the major nightlife district: you will find lots of restaurants, pubs and cafés walking around the alleyways, Piazza del Ferrarese, Piazza Mercantile and after your dinner or after your drink you can also take a walk on the seafront promenade. And for your cultural moments have a look at the two main programme’s theatres: Piccinni and Petruzzelli, this latter is considered one of the beautiful European theatre, it has been completely restored and open again to the public on 5th October 2009 after the fire that destroyed it on 1991.
