It is the second most important economic centre of mainland Southern Italy after Naples, and is well known as a port and university city, as well as the city of Saint Nicholas. The city itself has a population of about 320,475, as of 2011, over 116 km<sup>2</sup>, while the fast-growing urban area counts 653,028 inhabitants over 203 km<sup>2</sup>. The metropolitan area counts 1 million inhabitants. </p> <p>Bari is made up of four different urban sections. To the north is the closely built old town on the peninsula between two modern harbours, with the Basilica of Saint Nicholas, the Cathedral of San Sabino (1035–1171) and the Swabian Castle built for Frederick II, which is now also a major nightlife district. To the south is the Murat quarter (erected by Joachim Murat), the modern heart of the city, which is laid out on a rectangular grid-plan with a promenade on the sea and the major shopping district (the <i>via Sparano</i> and <i>via Argiro</i>). </p> <p>Modern residential zones surround the centre of Bari, the result of chaotic development during the 1960s and 1970s replacing the old suburbs that had developed along roads splaying outwards from gates in the city walls. In addition, the outer suburbs have developed rapidly during the 1990s. The city has a redeveloped airport named after Pope John Paul II, Karol Wojtyła Airport, with connections to several European cities. </p> </div> <p class="license">Content on this page is licensed under <a href="http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/" onclick="window.open(this.href); return false">CC-BY-SA</a> from the authors of the following Wikipedia pages: <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List%20of%20twin%20towns%20and%20sister%20cities%20in%20Italy" onclick="window.open(this.href); return false">List of twin towns and sister cities in Italy</a>, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bari" onclick="window.open(this.href); return false">Bari</a>.
