Overview

Depart from your hotel in Rome with your English speaking driver towards Bari, Apulia. Meet your guide and spend 3 hours walking around the town, seeing its highlights, its beautiful beach and above all, one of the most important pilgrimage destination for Catholics and Orthodox Christians, the Basilica of San Nicola. The Basilica was built in the 11th and 12th centuries. The origins of the basilica are steeped in legend - one is that St. Nicholas passed Bari on his way to Rome and declared that would have been his last home. Today, the structure houses one of the most important Romanesque sculptures in southern Italy: the throne of a bishop. Walk a mosaic of paths and between the two large towers that give the church the appearance of a castle. It was actually used as a castle on four separate occasions. Before coming back to Rome, have a tasty lunch ( fee not included ) and wonder around the typical streets to do some shopping!

What To Expect

Bari

The chief town of Puglia (Apulia), Bari faces the sea and, seen from above, appears like a bird with unfolded wings, whose head is old Bari. After the construction of the Church of San Nicola (St. Nicholas) in the XI century, Bari became one of the most vital centres of Christianity, a meeting place and point of arrival of the Crusades. The origins of this Church of the Patron saint - St. Nicholas - who is venerated not only by Catholics but also Orthodox and Protestant Christians, are unusual. The saint, who is considered the protector of sailors, died around 350 AD in Myra, an ancient city in Lycia in Asia Minor, at the time under the rule of the Muslims. His remains were removed by sailors from Bari and taken to the city on 9th May 1087. They were placed in a crypt and a large church dedicated to him was immediately built. Constructed in the beautiful and essential Puglia-Romanesque style, the church’s chancel features a stone altar that preserves his remains from which, for centuries, a liquid with miraculous effects continuously exudes. This so-called manna is distributed to worshippers in ampules. The church is open in the evening for guided visits every Saturday from 1st July to 30th September.Each year, during the May Celebrations, the “translation of the relics” is remembered with the Caravella historic procession, which is animated by songs that have been handed down for generations. The saint is also celebrated on 6th December, the day of his death.
