Beautiful church and highly evocative because of the story behind its dedication to Saint Nicholas, which is very much part of Bari's identity.

The interior of this cathedral is plain but given its age, it appears to be in excellent condition and is a good example of a structure of its time. But what really makes this a must see is the museum in the underground area (accessed from the lower level of the cathedral). The cost is only 3 Euros pp which is well worth it to see the ancient structures and mosaics which are presented with excellent lighting and some very interesting modern art.

Completely over the top marble and gilt decorations make the interior really stunning. Several altars with flowers decorating them around athe sides as well as the front.

Built with the support of the Emperor Frederick II over a 20-year period in the early 13th century, this church has undergone major reconstruction, renovations and remodelings in the 14th, 16th 18th and 20th centuries. The entire orientation of the church was changed 180 degrees in one of those interventions. The classical design, with three parallel naves (or a nave and two lateral aisles), features 12 side altars, six on each side. The symmetrical facade is anchored by two bell-towers and an elaborate stone carved entrance door, with multiple characters represented in the carvings. There is a beautiful rosette above the door, between the two towers.The magnificent wood ceiling combines paintings with gilted stucco work. Behind the altar is a painting by Leonardo Castellano (Assumption of the Virgin).The exquisite wood pulpit is thought to be from the 16th century. The presbytery includes a wood-carved choir, also from the 16th century.
