Bari
Bari lies along the Adriatic coast of Apulia, a dense, level city that spreads inland from its port and the walled old town. Bari Vecchia occupies the peninsula between the old and new harbours, its narrow lanes leading to the Basilica di San Nicola, an important destination for Catholic and Orthodox pilgrims. South of this historic quarter, the 19th-century Murat district introduced a regular street grid and broad avenues, creating a distinct urban contrast. Bari is Apulia’s principal transport hub, with rail services, Adriatic ferry connections and an airport serving the wider region. Its character is shaped by the meeting of a working port, university city and regional administrative centre.

Built around an Adriatic harbour, Bari grew into the capital of Apulia and one of southern Italy’s principal port cities. Its historic core, Bari Vecchia, occupies a compact peninsula between the old port and the modern waterfront, where narrow lanes lead to the Basilica di San Nicola. Completed in the 12th century, the Romanesque church houses the relics of Saint Nicholas and is an important destination for both Catholic and Orthodox pilgrims. The Norman-Swabian Castle and the seafront Lungomare Nazario Sauro reveal two sides of a city long shaped by maritime trade.

Among the regions of Italy, Apulia stands out for its long Adriatic and Ionian shoreline, tracing the heel of the peninsula. Inland, the limestone Murge plateau leads into olive groves, vineyards and the broad agricultural plain around Bari, while the Gargano promontory reaches into the Adriatic in the north. Its towns retain distinctive stone architecture: Alberobello is known for trulli, whitewashed circular dwellings with conical roofs, and Castel del Monte, commissioned by Emperor Frederick II, stands on a hill near Andria. Apulian cooking centres on olive oil, durum wheat, vegetables and seafood, reflecting both farmland and coast. Browse webcams around Apulia to see how the region connects with southern Italy.

Among the countries of southern Europe, Italy stands out for its Mediterranean coastline and cities marked by the legacy of ancient Rome. The Alps form its northern frontier, while the Apennines run down the peninsula and the Po crosses the broad plain of the north. Rome’s Colosseum and Roman Forum recall the ancient empire; Florence is closely associated with the Renaissance, and Venice is built across a lagoon on the Adriatic. Food changes markedly between regions, from olive-oil cooking in the south to rice dishes in the Po Valley. Sicily and Sardinia add distinct island identities to a country whose regions retain strong local character.
