Nardò Cathedral, Minor basilica and Roman Catholic cathedral in Nardò, Italy.

The cathedral features three naves with columns, decorated walls, and a central altar accompanied by walnut wood pews within its Romanesque structure.

Built in 1080 on the site of an ancient church called Sancta Maria de Neritorio, established by Middle Eastern monks who escaped iconoclastic persecution.

The cathedral houses numerous paintings from the 14th and 15th centuries, along with a wooden crucifix from the 13th century made of cedar wood.

The cathedral serves as the episcopal seat of the diocese of Nardò-Gallipoli and maintains regular religious services for the local community.

In 2013, the Italian Post issued a 70-cent commemorative stamp marking the cathedral's 600th anniversary as a testament to its regional importance.
