Bari's thousand-year history beneath the old city: discover an even older side of Bari!
beneath the old city of Bari (also known as Old Bari ) lies another city? It is the Bari of about a thousand years ago, with archaeological sites dating back to a time period ranging from the Roman era to the Middle Ages , which are excellently preserved underground near some of the monumental buildings of the ancient town .
Bari sotterranea is a cultural itinerary created by Eventi d'autore to allow visitors to discover "the city beneath the city," a unique and unforgettable experience that allows visitors to experience Bari's thousand-year history and its daily life in the 10th century.
THE ROUTE
An evocative tour lasting about two hours will catapult you back in time to discover Byzantine ruins, burial grounds, ancient dwellings, shops, and wells. This journey into the past follows a specific path, beginning at the Norman-Swabian Castle and continuing through the substructure of the Romanesque Cathedral of San Sabino, reaching Palazzo Simi Bari 's archaeology, and finally Santa Maria del Buon Consiglio.
SIMI PALACE
Palazzo Simi was built in 1500 on the ruins of a Byzantine-style church, which in turn was built on the remains of Roman-era . Inside, objects found during excavations , such as ancient coins and various types of ceramics, are preserved.
Among the historical finds are also some objects such as carved stones and funerary vases, dating
back to prehistoric times and found not only in Bari and its surroundings but also in various areas of the Puglia region .
Furthermore, always through the underground of the Simi palace , you can observe the remains of an ancient Roman-style , also recognisable by the typical flooring of the period, and of a Romanesque-style church built on the previous Byzantine one.
Therefore, “ Bari Sotterranea ” is an unmissable journey to discover not only the “city beneath the city” but also, if you like, the history within history, with an intertwining of eras that have characterized the past of the ancient city of Bari, making it a true place of historical interest.
