The cathedral of San Pietro Apostolo (or Duomo Tonti) is the undisputed symbol of the city. Since the Mother Church had become insufficient for the population of Cerignola, the need arose to design and build a new religious building that could fulfill this task. In 1855, the wealthy Cerignolano Paolo Tonti donated all the proceeds derived from the income of his possessions in order to build a new cathedral. In 1870, after making some changes, the engineer Alvino saw his project approved, for a cost estimate of approximately 127,000 ducats. Construction began in June 1873, with the laying of the first stone. In 1876, the engineer Alvino died and the task passed to the engineer Giuseppe Pisanti, who prepared a further project. The inauguration of the cathedral took place, although construction was not completed, in October 1934 and inherited the titles of cathedral and parish of San Pietro Apostolo from the ancient Mother Church. In September 1986, the church was elevated to the cathedral of the diocese of Cerignola-Ascoli-Satriano and again in April 1998 it was elevated to a minor basilica. From the first Saturday after Easter to the second Monday of October, the icon of the Madonna di Ripalta, patron saint of the city, is kept here.

Among the largest in southern Italy, the dome of the cathedral of San Pietro Apostolo in Cerignola towers over the city and is visible from the surrounding areas.
