Punta San Cataldo Lighthouse

Punta San Cataldo Lighthouse sits right at the edge of Bari's harbour, offering sweeping views of the Adriatic and the Apulian coastline that are hard to beat anywhere in the city. If you want inside access, you can actually arrange a small-group visit to the lantern room by contacting the Taranto Navy Command in advance — a rare chance to get up close to a working lighthouse. Come at sunset and the sea breeze alone makes the walk worthwhile.
