    It's one of the most important square of the old town. A series of monuments are included, such as: the Cathedral of Maria Ss.Assunta, the palaces of the Bishopric and the Seminary, the bell tower. Due to the unusual sider position of the original main gate of the Cathedral and in relation of the only entrance to the square, the left side of the building was artistically developed, transforming it into the main view that today welcomes visitors. The original construction of the Cathedral dates back to 1144, then in 1230, some renovations followed, but in 1659-70 it was totally restored by the wishes of Bishop Pappacoda, who commissioned it to the mayor artist Guseppe Zimbalo, that in those years was also involved in doing the adjacent bell tower. The façade he created, therefore, is the first that is presented to visitors, and is artisticallyconsidered the most important due to its sumptuous decorations of seventeenth century.

      A riot of Apulian baroque. The crypt of the Duomo is beautiful.
