The skyline of Bari old town seen from the sea, with the Margherita Theatre, the bell tower of San Sabino Cathedral and the Basilica of St Nicholas

Bari’s old town in an aerial view from the sea, with the Margherita Theatre, San Sabino Cathedral and St Nicholas Basilica beyond the old port. Behind the historic centre lie the quays of the commercial port and the sea horizon.\r\n\r\nOn the left, at the water's edge, is the domed Margherita Theatre, built on piles between 1912 and 1914. The bell tower of San Sabino Cathedral rises near the centre; further right is the Basilica of St Nicholas, which holds the saint's relics, brought to Bari from Myra in 1087. The taller buildings of modern Bari occupy the left-hand side of the view.\r\n\r\nIn the foreground is the San Nicola pier, with a boating clubhouse and pontoons for recreational boats. Large ships are moored in the commercial port in the background on the right. Two small sailing dinghies cross the water, while three people on stand-up paddleboards can be seen on the left.
