We passed here on our walk through the city, very beautiful church. Thank you for letting us take our little dog with us.

Beautiful, in light stone, very well cared for.

A church whose interior is all stone... beautiful... go there in the evening and you will appreciate it even more!

Beautiful example of Apulian Romanesque that fits well between the cathedrals on the sea of Trani, Barletta and Molfetta. The façade is adorned with a central portal of great charm and full of symbolic-biblical references. Not to be missed for those visiting Bisceglie.

Romanesque cathedral, beautiful in its simplicity. More prominence should be given to the historic center
