Apulia: Hotels in Apulia

Bari was an important Roman municipality (Barium), at first part of the Eastern Empire and then conquered by Saracens and Bizantines. During the Napoleonic age the city was widened so that today you can easily distinguish the medieval part from the modern one.

Founded by the Messapi people, Brindisium was a very important port city under the Romans, who linked it to Rome throughout Appia street and Traiana street in order to improve the trade with the East, hence its name as "ancient door of East".From September 1943 to February 1944 it was the capital city of Italy.
