The Russian Orthodox Church:
a sacred and evocative place in the heart of Bari
The Russian Orthodox Church is one of the most characteristic places in Bari and its birth dates back to the 20th century.
Like the Basilica of San Nicola , this structure also represents a point of reference for devotees of San Nicola (the patron saint of the city of Bari ), a destination especially for pilgrims from the East.
Yes, because the pilgrimage of Orthodox Christians to Bari is not exclusively due to Russia, but also to countries such as Romania, Serbia, and Ukraine, to name a few.
Every year, thousands of faithful come to Bari to venerate the city's patron saint, just as many are welcomed by the Russian Church , which since its construction has become a true landmark for Orthodox pilgrimages, as well as symbolically acting as a bridge between East and West.
So when you come to Bari, you certainly can't forget to visit the Russian Church, a peaceful, sacred, and architecturally beautiful place. The church is located in the Carrassi neighborhood , not far from the city center, but it's best to reach it by public transport.
PS: Don't forget your camera!
