The meeting point is in front of the majestic Norman-Swabian Castle, one of Bari's most important symbols. Here you'll start with an external visit of the castle, listening to the storey of the Norman and Swabian dominations and understanding the strategic role that the city has had over the centuries as a crossroads between East and West.

From here, you'll wander into the alleys of Bari Vecchia, a fascinating tangle of stone streets, medieval arches, and hidden courtyards. You'll reach the Cathedral of San Sabino, which you'll admire from the outside, discovering the characteristics of the Apulian Romanesque and the curiosities related to its history.

The route continues to one of the city's most beloved and visited places: the Basilica of San Nicola, which you'll visit inside. Here you'll discover the strong cult dedicated to the Saint, venerated by both the Catholic and Orthodox traditions, and you'll understand the spiritual and cultural importance that this place represents for Bari and for pilgrims from all over the world.

During the walk, you'll cross the evocative historic wall overlooking the sea, where you can enjoy splendid panoramic views and breathe in the city's Mediterranean atmosphere. Along the way, you'll encounter scenes of everyday life: the ladies preparing orecchiette by hand, the scents of Bari cuisine, and traditions handed down from generation to generation.

The tour ends in the two main squares of the historic centre: Piazza Mercantile, the ancient commercial heart of the city, and Piazza del Ferrarese, a lively meeting point that connects ancient Bari to the modern city. The experience will end here, leaving you with a complete view of Bari's history, flavours, smells, and authentic identity.
