Car Hire in Bari, Italy with Auto Europe

Bari is an ancient city with a rich history, and is a particularly important pilgrimage site for both the Catholic and Eastern Orthodox churches. The focal point of this past lies in the Basilica di San Nicola, a brilliant white Romanesque church built in the 11th and 12th centuries to house the remains of Saint Nicholas, who later came to be known as Father Christmas.

The massive church appears almost like a castle, with two large towers flanking its exterior, while the interior features spectacularly carved vaulted ceilings and a number of incredible Russian icon paintings. The church is well known for the renaissance era marble tombs of the Bona Sforza, in addition to its many other relics. Bari's fascinating history can be explored in the Basilica di San Nicola and many other sites throughout the city, and Auto Europe can meet all of your transportation needs for the journey.
