What you can expect

Enjoy a unique experience in the heart of old Bari by visiting the Cathedral of San Sabino, one of the most remarkable examples of Apulian Romanesque architecture. You can explore the beautiful interior, the evocative crypt, and the renowned Exultet Museum, a treasure trove of art and spirituality.

Admire the elegant, luminous façade, built from local limestone, and be captivated by its thousand-year history. The cathedral was rebuilt between the 11th and 12th centuries following the destruction of the ancient Byzantine church, and today it houses the relics of Saint Sabinus, the patron saint of Canosa.

In the silent crypt, enveloped in a mystical atmosphere, discover mosaics, capitals, and ancient altars that bear witness to centuries of devotion. Every year, during the summer solstice, the play of light from the rose window perfectly illuminates the floor, a phenomenon that attracts visitors from all over the world.

The tour continues in the Museo degli Exultet, where rare illuminated liturgical scrolls – masterpieces of Apulian medieval art – are on display, along with sacred furnishings, reliquaries, and artefacts that bear witness to the cathedral’s long history.

A visit to the Cathedral of San Sabino is a journey through time, amid art, faith, and tradition, immersed in the authentic atmosphere of the historic centre of Bari. A truly unmissable experience to discover one of Puglia’s most precious gems
