    This very popular pilgrimage site is located in the heart of the Old Town. The basilica is a very imposing building, one of the most beautiful works of Romanesque architecture. The relics of St Nicholas are kept here in the crypt, brought here in 1087 by sailors from Bari, from Myra. It soon became one of the most important Christian centres in Europe. It is still visited by many tourists and local Christians. There were few visitors this time in January, so we walked around the basilica, admiring the graceful columns and the paintings on the gilded ceiling. We saw the saint's tomb and relics, too.

    I loved wandering around the narrow alleys of the old town and the spacious squares where you can find ice cream parlours, cafés and restaurants. I particularly liked the terraces of the restaurants, where even in January there were still a lot of people. We enjoyed walking through the labyrinthine, branching streets, between the patinated old houses and decorative palaces. It was also interesting to see the women making traditional homemade pasta.

    This is a beautiful seafront promenade along the Adriatic Sea. It's 9 miles long!
    We came out from the Old Town as the lights came on .

    This is the oldest building in the city, and dates back to the 13th century. It is also the only church in Bari with a bell tower.

    The beautiful red building is a functioning theater and music venue. It was badly destroyed in a fire 30 years ago and most areas are reconstructed according to the original plans of 1903.

    Piazza del Ferrarese is a nice place. There are several restaurants to chose from. It is located near to the sea and nice to walk around.
    We really enjoyed walking in here!
