The Cathedral
Category: Attractions
Time: all year
The cathedral rises on the top of the town and was built to be the most outstanding church in Apulia. It was built between 1080 and 1088. The cathedral is a synthesis of different styles perfectly blended, the early Christian, the Byzantine and the Romanesque. One of its most beatiful features is the mosaic floor produced by the monk Pantaleone.
