Hiking

The Cathedral of Lucerina, together with the Cathedral and the Church of S. Domenico in Naples, is an example of the new "Gothic-Angevin" architectural language promoted by Charles II and Robert of Anjou between the end of the century, the XIII and the beginning of the XIV century.
The original basilica structure was equipped with a Latin cross, three naves and a crypt. But over time there have been various changes to the cathedral.

Hiking

The Cathedral of Santa Maria Assunta is a basilica minor in the Gothic architectural style, which is very rarely seen so unaltered in Puglia and is considered the southernmost Gothic brick church in Italy. It is named after a 14th-century statue of the Virgin Mary, carved from dark wood and gilded, with the nickname Madonna della vittoria, because it commemorates the victory of the House of Anjou over the Hohenstaufen in Southern Italy. In the right apse, there is also a 14th-century crucifix originating from the-
Rhine region.
