GUIDE OF BARI
On the southern Adriatic coast, Bari is an Italian city with an important port and a rich and fascinating history. Over time Bari has become more and more important in the merchant sector and is a trade hub with the Middle East and since 1930 boasts one of the most important festivals in the country, the Fiera del Levante.

History
According to findings excavated from the Church of San Pietro, the first settlement originates from the Bronze Age, but according to other scholars Bari was a colony of Crete, Greeks who gave it the name of Barion. The Romans took this city and gave it an important role by constructing the Via Traiana, a castle, mint and a pantheon.

With the fall of the Roman Empire, Bari was ruled between the Longobards and Byzantines and there was a brief period of Arab domination then a return to the control of the Lombard dukes of Benevento first and then again under the Byzantines. 1068 is an important year, as the Normans took over the city, after about twenty years the remains of St. Nicholas of Myra were brought here, and a crypt was built. The Sforza managed to lift the city from a dark period under the Angevins and Aragonese and the Venetian domination saw an expansion of the port and consequent growth of the commercial sector. The port has always played a fundamental role in the city, in fact, the Crusaders left from Bari to fight the Holy Wars and during the Second World War, the port of Bari was an important base for the allied forces.

What to see in Bari
