Join a guided tour of Palazzo Simi and uncover Bari’s archaeological treasures. Look out for Renaissance-style architecture, amazing finds that date back to the 1st century AD, and the palace's mosaic floor as it was when an aristocratic family owned it more than 300 years ago.

The Nicolaiano Museum, which collects the most valuable pieces linked to the centuries-old story of the Basilica of San Nicola, is of great attraction for anyone interested in the Saint as well as in the civil, artistic and religious history of the city of Bari. through the Byzantine (876-1071), Norman (1071-1194), Swabian (1194-1266), Angevin (1266-1442), Aragonese (1442-1501), Viceregal (1551-1734), Bourbon (1734-1861) eras ) and post-unification. Epigraphs, parchments and illuminated manuscripts (from the precious Archives of the Basilica), enamels, coats of arms, reliquaries, chalices and silverware (from the Treasury), paintings and sacred vestments allow the visitor to come into direct contact with masterpieces and documents that have made the history of the Saint, the Basilica and the City.

  • Explore a centuries-old church in Bari, a pilgrimage site for both the Eastern Orthodox and Roman Catholic faiths
