Starting at Piazza Ferrarese, we’ll explore the vibrant Piazza Mercantile and visit the Basilica of San Nicola, a revered pilgrimage site and a symbol of unity among Christian faiths. Discover the Catedral of San Sabino and the imposing Svevo Castle. Step into the Marnarid shop, a living relic from 1866, to experience Bari’s culinary heritage. On Arco Basso Street, meet the women crafting fresh orecchiette pasta by hand—a tradition so iconic it’s celebrated by global brands like Dolce & Gabbana.
