The Duomo di San Corrado [Cathedral of St. Conrad] was built between the twelfth and thirteenth century. It’s one of the biggest Apulian Romanesque churches, with three on-axis domes and two towers, one for sighting and the other a bell tower. The current entrance to the sea was opened in the 40s of the twentieth century, but the real (ancient) entrance is to the South. The oldest par is the apse, which is characterized by a series of arches that intersect in a Moorish style. Inside, the presbytery shows traces of the ancient painting decorations, original polychrome floors and sculptural decorations. Amongst the most important sculptural decorations: the stoup, as called by the Saracen, the magnificent capitals and the sculptures at the base of the dome of the apse.
