Inside the majestic cathedral of St. Thomas, since 1258 it has housed, in the crypt, the relics of the Apostle Thomas and the chalcedony tombstone stolen from Chios, an Aegean island, by Leo from Ortona during a military action. At the end of 1570 it rose to the dignity of Cathedral and on 23 December 1859, with the Bull of Pius IX, it was awarded the title of Minor Basilica.
