Bari is the capital city of the province of Bari and of the Apulia region, on the Adriatic sea, in Italy. Bari consists of four different parts. On the north, the closely built old town on the peninsula between two modern harbours, with the splendid Basilica of San Nicola (Saint Nicholas), the Cathedral of San Sabino and the Castello Svevo of Frederick II, is now also one of the major nightlife districts. The Murattiano section to the south, the modern heart of the city, is laid out on a rectangular plan with a promenade on the sea, and the major shopping district (the via Sparano and via Argiro). Bari is now mostly a modern industrial city. Bari itself is a proud and hard-working port city with strong traditions based on its Saint Nicholas.
