Places to see in ( Bari - Italy )
Places to see in ( Bari - Italy )
Bari is a port city on the Adriatic Sea, and the capital of southern Italy’s Puglia region. Its mazelike old town, Barivecchia, occupies a headland between 2 harbors. Surrounded by narrow streets, the 11th-century Basilica di San Nicola, a key pilgrimage site, holds some of St. Nicholas’ remains. To the south, the Murat quarter has stately 19th-century architecture, a promenade and pedestrianized shopping areas.
If Lecce is the south’s Florence, Bari is its Bologna, a historic but forward-looking town with a high percentage of young people and migrants lending it vigour. More urban than Lecce and Brindisi, with grander boulevards and better nightlife, Bari supports a large university, an opera house and municipal buildings that shout confidence.
Most travellers skip Bari on their way to Puglia’s big-hitter, Lecce (the towns have a long-standing rivalry, especially over soccer), but Bari doesn’t lack history or culture. The old town contains the bones of St Nicholas (aka Santa Claus) in its Basilica di San Nicola, along with a butch castle and plenty of unfussy trattorias that have the local nosh – cucina barese – down to a simple art. The second-largest town in southern Italy, Bari is a busy port with connections to Greece, Albania and Croatia, and sports an international airport with connections to much of Europe.
Bari is the largest and most important city of Apulia and stands on the Adriatic coast. It's mostly famous for being one of the exit doors of Italy, where travellers leave on ferries for neighboring countries. The city authorities, however, have been trying to raise its tourism profile and awareness of Bari's old town, which has retained its ancient Medieval plan and contains many historic buildings and sites. The old town was the heart of pre-Roman and Roman Bari and it is now possible to find several hip bars and restaurants open from dusk til dawn in this once dark and unsafe zone.
The ancient part of the city, called Bari Vecchia by locals, literally Old Bari, is a beautiful mediaeval neighborhood you should not miss. Take a stroll and get lost in the maze of Bari Vecchia and try not to miss the romanic Basilica of Saint Nicholas with its gold ceiling, its crypt and the magnificent cathedra of Bishop Elias. In the same square, also the Palazzo del Catapano and the Church of Saint Gregory are worth a visit. Even older (but later refurbished in baroque style) and equally interesting is the romanic Cathedral of Saint Sabino. Take a walk along the waterfront, on the top of the old city wallsand pass by the Fortino of Saint Antony, an old fort recently turned into a modern art gallery, and the former Monastery of Saint Scolastica (currently part of the University). The vast majority of the churches in Bari Vecchia are unfortunately closed to tourists. They are open on selected festivities, including Good Friday and the Solemnity of All Saints.
A a small town 20 minutes out of Bari named Adelfia is worth a visit on patron's day. The patron saint of one of its quarters, Montrone, is Saint Trifone. Nov 9 is the start of a three day celebration. In the early evening of Nov 9, a giant beautiful balloon is released which signifies the start of the festival. On the 10th, the statue of San Trifone is brought out of the church and paraded around the town. Bands from all over Italy come and perform on the outdoor stage. Fireworks are displayed throughout the evening to the early morning. The different men's club compete on which club can have the biggest, loudest and spectacular display. Vendors surround the town with goods, food and gifts.
The Saint of the city is Saint Nicholas and is celebrated by the Catholic Church on December 6. In Bari, several masses gather early in the morning (as early as 4am) on December 6. A huge crowd and lots of fast food stands fill the old town through the night. However, the city's main celebration of Saint Nicholas takes place from May 6 to May 8 with historical reconstructions, popular music and a two-day fireworks contest. Pilgrims come from all over the world.
Nice towns to discover around Bari are Matera, Gravina, Martina Franca and Alberobello. Trani (with a truly impressive Cathedral), Molfetta, Giovinazzo and Polignano a Mare are closer to Bari and also worth a visit. There are many direct trains a day. Ticket to Matera or Alberobello is about €4 in one direction.

CROAZIA - PULA / POLA Città Istriana - Republika Hrvatska - HD
© CLAUDIO MORTINI™◊
Situata nell'estremo sud della penisola Istriana, Pola offre bellissimi paesaggi naturali e numerose possibilità di svago, è sede dei corpi amministrativi della città e della regiorne istriana. La città dista 126 km circa da Trieste, ed è vicina al Parco Nazionale delle Isole Brioni (10km), a Rovigno (20km), Medulin (8km) e alle terme di Santo Stefano (Istarske Toplice).
I più importanti monumenti della città risalgono quasi tutti all'epoca imperiale romana (dal primo al terzo secolo d.C.), la città disponeva un sistema idrico, un forum che era centro amministrativo, religioso e commerciale, due teatri, era cinta da mura e vi si accedeva attraverso porte (demolite agli inizi del diciannovesimo secolo).
Da visitare: partendo dalla piazza principale (piazza Foro) il tempio di Augusto che ospita una mostra di sculture in pietra, il palazzo municipale ultimato nel 1296, la chiesa e il convento francescani costruiti nel tredicesimo secolo.
Salendo da Via Castrapola lungo una scalinata si arriva alla Fortezza Veneta (XVII secolo) che ospita il museo storico d'Istria. Passeggiando lungo le strade lastricate da pietre rese lucide dall'uso, si passa dalla Cattedrale risalente al IV secolo e incendiata dai veneziani nel 1242, alla Chiesa di San Nicola costruita con pietre calcaree, fino ad arrivare ai piedi del simbolo della città: l'Anfiteatro romano.
Anfiteatro - Arena di Pola:
costruito presso la strada principale che da Pola portava ad Aquileia e a Roma (Via Flavia) durante il regno di Augusto, ampliato nel periodo di Claudio e terminato sotto i Flavi (tra il primo secolo a.C. e il 14 d.C.)con pietre provenienti dalle cave presenti nella periferia della città, venne ampliata dall'imperatore Vespasiano.
Veniva utilizzata per le naumachie (combattimenti navali) e i combattimenti dei gladiatori.
Utilizzato come fonte di pietra per costruzioni dalla Repubblica di Venezia venne restaurata in epoca napoleonica. Oggi viene utilizzata per spettacoli teatrali e concerti, ogni anno vi si tiene il Pola Film Festival.
Amalfi Coast Vacation Travel Guide | Expedia
The Amalfi Coast stretches for 30 miles along the southern coast of the Sorrentine Peninsula in Southern Italy.
There are some places that are so famous and so legendary that even before you set foot there, it feels familiar. The Amalfi Coast or “road of a thousand bends” is one such place. This route has attracted society’s rich and beautiful for thousands of years and inspired some of the world’s greatest artists and writers.
The area’s largest city, Amalfi is a great place to begin this legendary journey. A wealthy and powerful town during medieval times, merchants here were amongst the few who had gold coins to spend instead of the barter system used throughout the rest of Italy.
Visit the magnificent buildings that reflect that early wealth.
Positano is perhaps the best known destination on the coast. A favourite of celebrities since the 1950’s this town glitters with old-world glamour. From Marina Grande Beach, most of the paths lead right to the town centre and the Byzantine Santa Maria Assunta.
Visit the Terraces of Infinity, at Villa Combine, a view so stunning that the famous american writer, Gore Vidal called it “the most beautiful view in the world.”
Before it’s medieval glory days, the Amalfi Coast’s charms drew the Roman aristocracy.
With its endless sunshine, mediterranean colours and a landscape of gripping drama and breathtaking beauty, the Amalfi Coast truly is a legendary destination.

Ancient Exploring: Monastery of Sant'Anna de Aquis Vivis built in 1200AD, Italy
Built in the 1200's the monastery of Sant'Anna in Monte, called de vivis acquis, was built on land donated by Queen Agnes of the Sacred specus to the monks of Subiaco. In 1342, two monks of the aforesaid monastery, with the permission of their abbot, founded this building. Its slow decline begins about three hundred years later, in 1500, with several raids by the Saracens. Towards the middle of 700, a first attempt is initiated restructuring, to the abbot by Nicola Salerno.
