About Santo Spirito
Where to stay in Santo Spirito
Each area has its own feel; here's who each one suits.
Santo Spirito lists six churches, a war monument and a fountain statue among its fixed points, and no lodging at all, so the room goes elsewhere. Il Titolo pulls a different visitor. Palese Macchie shares Municipio V with the quartiere, so a desk in Bari proper covers both halves of the municipio without changing hotels.
The chiesa dello Spirito Santo names the quartiere and marks where to start.
About Santo Spirito
What are the main landmarks in Santo Spirito?
The chiesa dello Spirito Santo shares its name with the quartiere, and five more parishes follow it: the chiesa del Sacro Cuore, the chiesa di Natività di Nostro Signore, the chiesa di San Michele Arcangelo, the chiesa di San Nicola and the chiesa di Stella Maris. Il Titolo joins the churches on the list. Two street pieces round out the record, a monument to the fallen of 1915 and 1918, and a statue with fountain to San Francesco d'Assisi.
What is the history of Santo Spirito?
Santo Spirito carries a 1970 date in the register. That is an administrative line rather than a founding one, since the war the monument to the fallen marks ran from 1915 to 1918, half a century before the boundary. Municipio V binds it to Palese Macchie, so the two quartieri are administered as one share of Bari rather than separately.
The chiesa dello Spirito Santo and the quartiere share the name.
Where is Santo Spirito?
The quartiere covers roughly eight square kilometres at Bari's north-western edge and answers to a three-part name, Santo Spirito - Catino - San Pio.
