That said, let's discover together very evocative places old Bari where time seems to have stood still, as does the authentic taste of Focaccia barese .
1) A piece of Focaccia in the charming Panificio Fiore
One of the bakeries in the alleys of Bari Vecchia .
A timeless sign inside an ancient building, medieval-style furnishings filled with paintings and statues of Saint Nicholas (Bari's patron saint) , and the aroma of focaccia that will tempt you even on a full stomach. All the ingredients that make Panificio Fiore one of the city's most historic places to savor the authentic flavor of focaccia barese , in the heart of Bari and Puglia .
2) A break with focaccia from the Santa Rita bakery
Another bakery in the old town , Santa Rita , serves amazing focaccia .
This masterpiece of focaccia is located near the Civic Museum of Old Bari , a perfect excuse to take a break and wander through the aroma of focaccia that often fills the alleys of the old city.
Here, too, the focaccia is always warm and freshly baked at all hours of the day, and is both soft and crunchy. In short, if you want a change and try other focaccias , this bakery will certainly delight you.
3) The wheel oven of the Santa Teresa bakery
The Santa Teresa bakery is another historic spot in Bari's old town, where focaccia is passed down from father to son.
But what still makes this place unique is its wood-fired oven, the last remaining wheel oven in Bari. This means that baking the focaccia still requires human hands, turning the trays on a wheel, which is in turn powered by a pedal. This oven, in operation since 1948 , still delights the palates of the many tourists who visit this historic Bari bakery, just steps from the Church of Santa Teresa dei Maschi .
