Lying roughly halfway along the Adriatic coast, on the fringes of the
fertile Terra di Bari, the city consists of two distinct parts, the old
city, a maze of twisting lanes, which lies on a small peninsula between the
bays of the old and new ports, and the modern town, built to a neatly
squared plan.
Nearby are: Andria (a rural village), Barletta (remembrance of the famous
`Disfida', July), Trani (Museo delle Carrozze, Trani marble quarries),
Molfetta (fishing harbour), Bisceglie (interesting environment, dolmen),
Bitonto, Alberobello (the trulli), Terlizzi (floriculture), Minervino Murge
(Archeological Museum), and Castel del Monte (Frederick the Second's
castle). |
