Museo Nicolaiano

The Nicolaiano Museum, which collects the most valuable pieces related to age-old story of the Basilica di San Nicola, is of great attraction for anyone interested in the Saint as the civil, artistic and religious of the city of Bari. Starting from antiquity, we will cross the Byzantine periods (876-1071), Norman (1071-1194), Swabian (1194-1266), Angevin (1266-1442), Aragon (1442-1501), the Viceroy (1551-1734), Bourbon (1734 1861) and unification. Epigraphs, parchments and illuminated manuscripts (from precious Archive of the Basilica), enamels, coats of arms, reliquaries, chalices and silver (From the Treasury), paintings and vestments allow the visitor to come into direct contact with masterpieces and documents that made history the Holy, the Basilica and the City.
