Barletta Cathedral

The church of Sant'Andrea was built between 1532 and 1701 on an ancient medieval church belonging to the Della Marra family. In 1532 the church was sold to the Order of Friars Minor, who undertook its reconstruction. With the edict of Murat in 1809, which provided for the suppression of religious orders, monastic life ceased in the church's convent. It was therefore handed over to the municipality, while the church remained open for liturgical celebrations.

The basilica of San Domenico was first consecrated in 1238 by Dominican fathers. During the sacking of 1528, the church and the adjoining conventual building were razed to the ground. In the mid-16th century, the former Templar church of Santa Maria Maddalena was taken over and renovated by the Dominicans, and the construction of the convent began. The church was enlarged at the beginning of the 18th century and was given a new high altar, built by Luigi della Marra.

The Collegiate Basilica of the Holy Sepulchre was first mentioned in 1130, at a time when the old pilgrims' hospital, dating from the late 11th to early 12th centuries, was attached to the church. In 1291, the Patriarch of Jerusalem, Randulphus, brought back from Jerusalem a fragment of the real wood of the Cross of Christ, which has been particularly venerated in the Church of the Sepulchre ever since. In 1456, an earthquake caused severe damage to the bell tower in the northwestern wing of the church. In 1556, the priory of the church was entrusted to the Knights of the Order of Malta, who took possession of the church of the Holy Sepulchre, until their abolition in 1799. Between 1968 and 1972, the entire building underwent a complex restoration.
