The main attraction of Bari and one of the main shrines of the Christian world is the Basilica of St. Nicholas (1087), where the myrrh-streaming relics of St. Nicholas and the Wonderworker are located, which have been buried in the church of St. Nicholas for almost a thousand years. In 1087, they were secretly taken out of the Lycian World and have since been kept in this church, turning it into one of the centers of Orthodoxy. So, those tourists who believe that the relics of St. Nicholas in Turkey are deeply mistaken. And I saw them. This church is also interesting in that its upper part is allocated to Catholics, the lower one - to Orthodox. The relics are stored in the crypt.
