La Lonja de la Seda de Valencia
La Lonja de la Seda is set in the very center, just across the main Mercado Valencia.
Its exteriors rather remind on a fortress than a trading place.
Entry fee is only 2 Euros. You need 15-20 min to see all of it, with the main Grand room being the most beautiful one, as well the Court room

State Capitol Park World Peace Rose Garden
Capitol Park is a pretty big park situated at the rear of Capitol building.
Apart from being a nice area to walk and capture Capitol pics, park has two attractions at its far end - a very nice Vietnam memorial and close to it, an area with trees from all over the world with a Rose garden

Old Sacramento Waterfront
Old Sacramento is set just by the river and famous Railroad Museum we didn't manage to visit unfortunately, as we came late.
The whole area is pretty small (two parallel streets over 3 blocks), so you can cover it in an hour or two. Parking along the streets (metered) or across in a garage (more expensive).
We really enjoyed our time there, walking by beautifully restored buildings from 19c era in a wild west style, visiting some saloons, quirky shops, took a walk by the river to Tower bridge, etc...
However, there were homeless and sketchy people around, some of them yelling and arguing with nobody which spoiled our impression

Basilica San Nicola
Basilica of San Nicola was on top of my list in Bari and the very first thing we've visited in this port city. St. Nicholas is my mother's family Patron Saint so it was a pilgrimage visit to pay our respects.
The Basilica is set in the old town, built in a Norman Romanesque style as early as 11c. The Piazza in front is rather small compared to huge Church, so it's pretty difficult to capture it. There's a monument on it dedicated to St. Nicholas - the Miracle maker.
Interiors are huge with big columns and uneven arches with wood/gold decorated ceiling and beautiful altar.
Downstairs in the crypt are the Saint's relics with his remains. Free entry

Church of Saint Mary of Idris
Church Santa Maria de Idris is located on top of a small hill, carved into a rock, with spectacular outside appearance.
The interiors are small, only two rooms with medieval semi preserved frescoes - no photos. It's included in the Combo Church pass
