Molfetta Cathedral, Baroque cathedral in Molfetta, Italy.

The cathedral exhibits a single nave layout with three chapels on each side, featuring classical Baroque architectural elements and artistic decorations throughout the structure.

Construction of the cathedral started in 1610 as a Jesuit church and continued until 1744, when workers completed the façade with Saint Ignatius Loyola's image.

The cathedral houses several artworks from the Neapolitan school, including the Dormitio Mariae by Scacco and pieces by Corrado Giaquinto depicting religious scenes.

The cathedral functions as the episcopal seat of the Diocese of Molfetta-Ruvo-Giovinazzo-Terlizzi, hosting regular religious services and ceremonial events throughout the year.

In 1785, the cathedral received the relics of Saint Conrad of Bavaria, transferred from the previous cathedral building now known as San Corrado church.
