Bari, where I went actually just because of Saint Nicholas, impressed me very much. I did not expect and I had never seen before such deep and many-sided contrasts of a city……..

historical spirit of Roman times – and noise of modern city in 15 minutes to walk….

dazzling white stone walls of old houses, palm-trees and azure sea….

And I also found how to live nearest to the sun ))

I found this estate to be quite astonishing, particularly the progression of architecture as the palace was passed down through emperors. Most beauitful of all was the private lake (seen here) that had imperial boats ready to take the emperor to his buildings in the middle of the lake.
