Bari is a lively port city situ- ated on the heel of the boot that is the Italian Peninsula. The capital of the Puglia regi- on, it is a port of embarkation for voyages around the Me- diterranean Sea. Drenched in history, Bari is a charming gem of Southern Italy and an ideal destination for tho- se seeking to uncover this re- gion’s fun atmosphere. This beautiful city has some in- teresting facts that you sho- uld know and some locations that you shouldn’t miss… Saintly relics Construction of the Pontifi - cal Basilica San Nicola, or the Church of Saint Nicholas, be- gan in 1087 to house the reli- cs of the saint. The relics we- re transported from Myra, in what is today Turkey, and can be found in the crypt that’s located under the altar. You can also find the mortal re - mains of old thieves who we- re ‘converted to good faith’. Homemade Pasta Bari’s Via dell’Arco Basso is a street that’s known for ai- ring laundry and drying fresh pasta. Here old ladies awa- ken early to make the city’s renowned ear-shaped pa- sta, which is dried in mesh screens of wooden trays out- side their doorways. These ladies, who sell their pasta by the kilo to locals and tourists alike, are continuing a traditi- on that dates back centuries. City of Saint Nicholas on the heel of the Italian boot
