The atmospheric old town Bari Vecchia, where we are staying, fills a small peninsula. It is land that comes between the new port to the west and the old port to the southeast. Crammed into this space are dozens of churches, many more shrines, a museum or two, and a castle that contains the footprints of an endless procession of conquerors and cultures. Which is of course applicable to much of Italy. So today we explored the neighborhood by strolling the waterfront, walking atop the old city wall, and visiting a castle.

 
 
 
 
Paul at Castello svevo di Bari  
 

Castello svevo di Bari (aka the castel) is about a five minute walk from our apartment, unless you get confused by the labyrinth of streets in Bari, in which case it will take considerably longer.
