We in America should find it easy to connect with and appreciate Bari and its culture. This city, one of the truly great and beautiful centers of southern Italy, is the very epitome of a "melting pot" society so valued in the United States. As a strategic port during the Crusades, Bari was invaded on several occasions by different cultures, some coming from as far away as northern France and Arabia. A vacation to Bari throws you right in the middle of this compelling heritage, the signs of which will be recognizable in everything from the features of its people, to its unique architecture, language, and cuisine.
But Bari not only personifies "East meets West," but also blends the ancient and modern. Standing on Bari's great avenue Corso Vittorio Emanuele II, you'll be atop what is both a cultural nexus and a time portal. Looking in one direction you will see a modern city that owes its compelling energy to its great heritage; to the other side you will see the Old Town, which is a living, breathing testament to all that transpired in Bari throughout the millennia. Walk through the old town, admire its blended Romanesque architecture most aptly demonstrated by the Basilica di San Nicola, pass through the Arab-style markets like the Fiera del Levante, and explore the medieval splendor in both imposing Castello Svevo and in the Old Town's nooks and crannies. The scent of seafood wafting about Bari is bound to make you keen to stop in for a meal; but before you do, you owe it to yourself to visit one of Bari's refined art galleries or its fascinating Archaeological Museum.
