Bari is a modern city, where Fiera del Levante is taking place every year, but it is also a town full of history as shown by the Church of St. Nicholas dating back to the Romanesque period, by the rock churches like Santa Candida and in general by the whole area of “Old Bari “.
Further beautiful places to visit are Trani, Bisceglie, Barletta or the famous thermal baths in Margherita di Savoia.
