Casa Franca is located in the old city of Bari, now the kingdom of Bari nightlife, near the Wall, the Basilica of S. Nicola, the Cathedral of S. Sabino, the Norman-Swabian Castle and the urban centre. Casa Franca is the "tower house" typical of old Bari with wooden floors (a typology introduced by the Normans) which develops on small quadrangular surfaces and on several floors (ground floor, 1st, 2nd floor and patio) connected by unsuitable steep stairs for disabled people with a single entrance. At Casa Franca you will find wooden stairs with a butterfly system to facilitate use which you can verify in the published photos (but the stairs of the tower houses unfortunately constitute an irremovable architectural barrier as they are historical structures on limited surfaces). The tower houses are also called "terra cielo", or "sus mezza abbass". The oldest tower houses date back to medieval times and had defensive purposes, then used as homes. The ground floor housed the workshop where the craftsman carried out his activity; families lived on the upper floors. Many tower houses – such as Casa Franca – are located in Corti. This allows you to immerse yourself in the typical atmosphere of old Bari, given the close proximity of the houses, allowing tourists and guests to stay in silence, awakened by the sounds of the church bells. The shouting of people is equally typical, as is the habit of using stoves outside homes for tasty frying. The elderly, young people and children who live in Corte Moscatelli will gladly point you to the no. 19 of Casa Franca. A host - Mrs Franca, her husband or one of her two children - will welcome you or reach you for any needs. Casa Franca, clean and welcoming, awaits you for an unforgettable stay in Puglia.

Casa franca is located in the heart of the old city a few minutes walk from the main places of interest such as: Basilica of San Nicola, Cathedral of San Sabino, Museum of Santa Scolastica, Piazza Ferrarese, Piazza Mercantile, Teatro Margherita, Teatro Petruzzelli and the shopping streets in the city center. Casa Franca is 1 minute walk from the Bari seafront and the Ancient Wall and a few more minutes walk to Pane e Pomodoro beach and Torre Quetta. In the area there is a large presence of bars and restaurants typical of Bari Vecchia. On the nearby Lungomare there are stops for the public bus service.
