Basilica San Nicola

So beautiful! This basilica is in the old town of Bari and really deserves a visit. It is majestic and very fascinating place.

Speaking of Italy, the Chinese have already played her bad? What Milan, Rome, Florence, Pisa, Turin, Tuscany are also tired of playing? So let's not talk about these popular cities, I'll take you to a few cold places these days...Last issue we went to the world cultural heritage site - Alberto Bello. Take you to Bari today. The city of Bari is located in the southeastern Italian coast of the Adriatic Sea, the main Italian port leading to the Balkans and the eastern Mediterranean. The city of Bari is also the capital of the Italian region of Puglia, the provincial capital of the province of Bari, the economic and cultural center of Puglia. Today I will show you the church of St Nicholas in the old town of Bari, which is a 12th-century Roman style and is praised by locals as the "heart of the old town". It was built specifically to pay tribute to the guardian saint of Bari, Saint Nicholas (the prototype of Santa Claus), who is said to have experienced magical manna, and his relics were smuggled back from Constantinople (now Istanbul) by Bari fishermen in 1087 and buried here, So this church remains an important place for the faithful to make pilgrimages. The interior is large and simple, decorated with 17th-century wooden ceilings, and the altar has a 13th-century box of Holy Bodies, the oldest shrine in the Puglia region, and looks more sacred and beautiful under the light...
