This is the beautiful old city of Bari. It is the meeting place of the ancient eastern and the western worlds. Many cultures have had their influence in this place: Islam and the Saracins, the Ancient Greeks, and the Romans, Spain and Russia, just to name a few. Here you will find the Basilica of Saint Nicolas. Yes, the very same saint who inspired the legend of Santa Claus. During the time of the crusades, a group of sailors from Bari, went to Myrna and managed to "transport" the remains of San Nicola to Bari, where they remain today under the altar of the basilica (and some members of the group are still having a little trouble getting over the news).
