Santa Scolastica Archaeological Museum

In the heart of the historic center, inside the ancient monastery of Santa Scolastica, the Archaeological Museum of Bari preserves the most precious traces of the region’s millennia-old history, from Prehistory to the Middle Ages. Among remains of Bronze Age settlements, Byzantine mosaics, Roman domus, and medieval fortifications, the museum offers a fascinating journey into the civilizations that once inhabited Apulia.

Its permanent collection includes Daunian, Greek, and Apulian ceramics, ancient coins, sculptures, and jewelry — a treasure set within the very walls of the city.
