Museo della Basilica di San Nicola

The Museum of the Basilica of Saint Nicholas is located in the city of Bari. Its construction began in 1089 and ended only in 1103. The consecration tombstone of 1197, which some interpret as the end of the works, was an act of devotion to Emperor Henry IV, who, in memory of his father Federico Barbarossa, set out for the Crusade asking for the blessing of St. Nicholas.
