This is a view of the side entrance to the Duomo, the 12th century church dedicated to Saint Conrad which is located on the harbour and featured in my header photo. This church is considered to be the finest example of Apulian-Romanesque architecture around. Apulian-Romanesque architecture is notable for its clean, almost completely undecorated lines.

Beautiful architecture, thanks for sharing it!
Saretta,
Love the glimpses of history and art.
The minute this recession slows down enough for us to catch our breath, my family is renting an apartment near Bari or ...and live la dolce vita for a few months. Do you know if places are available for just a few months?
You're welcome Carraol!
Lakeviewer, yes, there are many places available for short-term rent throughout Apulia. Renting a trullo down in the Itria Valley is a popular thing to do, but you can find something anywhere you would like to stay.
Almost undecorated, but enlarging the photo we can see several fine bas reliefs around the niches and a sundial in the top right corner.
A clean, subdued but enchanting architecture indeed.
And, in your answer, I liked the idea of Rent-a-Trullo!
Lovely in its simplicity.
A very beautiful image ...
I like the Romanico style,
the clean lines, and usually also the inside of churches are very attractive ...
Congratulations, beautiful shot!
I like it! Great photo!
Surprisingly stark considering what Italy has to offer. But lovely nonetheless.
Different eras and different settings create different aesthetics!
Complimenti! Larger photos are much more enjoyable.
Romanesque architecture is basically very simple. This Duomo is particularly beautiful for its tiny details and for the white-pinkish stone.
