Noci is a city and comune in the Metropolitan city of Bari in the region of Apulia, in southern Italy. It has about twenty thousand inhabitants. Established during the Norman time in Italy, the town developed during the Angevin period. On a west to east line it is located between Gioia del Colle and Alberobello. Most buildings in the town are built in a traditional style and are packed together with few open spaces.

As YOU explore the town, YOU will notice the unique architecture that blends the medieval and Baroque styles. The main square, Piazza Garibaldi, is a bustling hub of activity with cafes and shops lining the perimeter. Take a stroll down Via Roma to see some of the town’s most beautiful buildings, including the Church of Santa Maria della Croce.

One of the main draws of Noci is its food scene. The town is famous for its roasted meat dishes and locally produced wines. Be sure to try the succulent lamb chops, tender beef strips, and the famous bombette, which are small parcels of meat stuffed with cheese and herbs. For dessert, indulge in some pasticciotto, a sweet pastry filled with custard.
