Teatro Margherita

Teatro Margherita is a distinctive Art Nouveau landmark on Bari’s waterfront, notable for its foundations on stilts over the old harbor. Built in 1914 as a theater and later cinema, it now hosts contemporary art exhibitions as part of the Polo Arti Contemporanee (PAC). Visitors come for the elegant façade, maritime setting, and rotating shows that spotlight Italian and international artists. It’s an easy cultural stop near Bari Vecchia and the Fish Market, ideal for architecture enthusiasts and travelers seeking a quick, well-curated art experience amid seafront views.
