Dedicated to Santa Maria Assunta, it was built on the ruins of the old Romanesque church from 1348, of which the massive bell tower remains. Its current building was designed by the architect Mastropasqua from Giovinazzo and was built by the Bitonto company Fratelli Sannicandro in 1858. It was consecrated by Archbishop Ernesto Mazzella on Christmas Eve 1988. Its facade faces east and the interior consists of three naves. In the central nave you can admire a painting representing the Assumption of the Madonna into Heaven made by the painter Michele Montrone. On the side walls there are two medallions depicting Pope Pius XII and Pius IX, works by the painter Umberto Colonna, also author of the paintings in the central nave and the dome. In the right nave there is a large wooden crucifix from the 16th century and a tabernacle with silver candlesticks and you can also admire the silver cross in which there is a relic of the Cross of Jesus. On the side walls there are oil paintings on canvas from the 18th century depicting the glory of St. Clare, the Madonna with Angels, St. Dominic, St. Gaetano and the Holy Family. On the right side we can admire a pedestal containing the relics of St. Zenone, the first patron saint of Cassano, of Annibale di Francia, of Blessed Giacomo di Bitetto, St. PIO da Pietrelcina, St. Rita, Mother Teresa of Calcutta, St. Basil, St. Ursula and sculptures dating back to the original church. In the left nave we can admire the carved walnut pulpit, the Naca and the statues of St. Vincent de Paola and Veronica and St. Francis.

Bitetto ist known for the presence of the remains of Blessed Giacomo , a lay friar who died in the odor of sanctity, whose body has remained intact over the centuries. The main monument of the town, the church of San Michele Arcangelo is one of the purest examples of Apulian Romanesque . The epigraph near the portal reveals that the facade was built in 1335 by Mastro Lillo da Barletta on commission from Bishop Bonocore, who wanted to rebuild the city temple on the site of an older cathedral. Bitetto had in fact been a diocesan seat since the 11th century . Oriented according to ancient custom with the presbytery to the east, the church has a severe façade divided into three parts by pilasters and equipped with a large archivolted rose window . Of the three portals, the central one is characterized by a rich sculptural apparatus: two stone lions, crouched on mighty corbels, support columns with capitals with vegetal motifs that support a lunette with bas-reliefs of Christ and the twelve Apostles. The external jambs instead present scenes from the New Testament. The interior, which was heavily plastered in the eighteenth century and was restored to its original Romanesque style in 1959 , is divided into three naves by triple-order wall partitions, where the double-arched arches are surmounted by false matronei and higher up by single-lancet windows. The transept has three apses according to the stylistic features of Apulian Romanesque. The fourteenth-century body is flanked on both sides by two eighteenth-century chapels, that of Purgatory (on the left) and that of the Blessed Sacrament (on the right). Outside, the bell tower, also dating back to the eighteenth century, rests on the Romanesque façade with a typical gabled structure.

Precious evidence of the numerous rural villages which, since the period of Byzantine domination, populated the Bari area between the 10th and 11th centuries. This village was built on the edge of the Balsignano blade, a depression in the land caused by karst phenomena. Easily identifiable along the Matera road. The area is fenced and can only be accessed for a fee at set times (in the morning from 9.30 to 13).
