Bari is a port city overlooking the Adriatic Sea, the capital of the Puglia region in Southern Italy. “Bari Vecchia” (the historic centre) is located on the peninsula enclosed between Bari's two harbours: the old port and the new port. The Basilica of San Nicola (11th century), situated within the ancient walls, is a favoured destination for pilgrims (Catholic and Orthodox) who come here to pay homage to the saint's remains. The Murattiano district (built in 1813), the new town, is the vibrant commercial centre of the city with a strong merchant-entrepreneurial tradition, and has always been a crucial hub between Italy and the Balkans.
Its port is the largest Italian passenger port on the Adriatic Sea. Ferries periodically connect Bari to the Balkan and Greek coasts, especially during the summer season. The city is characterised by a Mediterranean climate, with mild winters and hot summers.
