The church consists of a single nave ending in three apses including the central one, larger. The internal hall is outlined by four arches on each side in which as many chapels open up. Noteworthy is the first chapel on the right, formerly under the patronage of the Sylos-Sersale family, where a richly decorated Baroque altar made in 1696 in Lecce stone stands out. At the center of the precious altar there is a canvas depicting the birth of the Virgin of uncertain attribution (Nicola Gliri or Andrea Miglionico).

The church of San Gaetano was built in 1609 in Bitonto on the old building of the Universitas, in Piazza Cavour. The work, commissioned by the Theatines, originally called San Niccolò ai Teatini, and built according to the architectural project of Dionisio Volpone di Parabita, is presented in Baroque style. The structure was consecrated only in 1730 by the bishop Luca Antonio della Gatta.
