One of the reasons to visit Bari. Many Russians believe that St. Nicholas is from Russia, and he was born and lived in the territory of Turkey here. Then his relics were transported by the Italians to Bari. But there is a Russian trace in this basilica. There is a monument to the saint in the courtyard, where the inscription is in Italian and in Russian, and it was made by Tsereteli. I got to the end of the service, where an Italian priest was reading in Russian for a Russian-speaking group. The building is very beautiful and the old town around is also very nice.
