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.

What strength these Romans are!

The Saline of the same name is important, a natural reserve that extends along the Apulian coast for about twenty kilometers in the Province of Barletta-Andria-Trani.

The so-called 'Roman bridge' certainly follows the position of the bridge built on the Via Traiana at the beginning of the 2nd century, but very little remains of that structure. Over the centuries it has undergone various changes, some during the Aragonese period, but above all during the reign of Charles III of Bourbon, when in the mid-18th century, after yet another flood, almost the entire central part collapsed, supported by a single large arch, in place of the current two central ones. The bridge visible today is nothing more than a reconstruction carried out by Neapolitan naval engineers, coordinated by the architect Vanvitelli. Observing the construction typology, the attentive eye will certainly notice substantial differences both with similar bridges from the Roman era and with the remains of Roman buildings in nearby Canosa. The information regarding the eighteenth-century reconstruction is transcribed in the documents preserved in the 'Regia Dogana delle Pecore' section of the State Archives of Foggia. In fact, the bridge was located on the path of a Royal sheep track coming from Foggia, where two of the five royal sheep tracks of the Kingdom of Naples converged.

crossing the ROMAN BRIDGE simple but fascinating to see with its view that crosses the OFANTINO river, a beautiful crossing point to visit 🚵‍♂️😎🥰🙋‍♂️🧏‍♂️🚵‍♀️😊👍💖😍🧏‍♂ ️

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.
