Ruvo Cathedral, Romanesque co-cathedral in Ruvo di Puglia, Italy.
The Cathedral measures 36 meters in height and contains three naves leading into three apses, following a traditional Latin cross plan.
Construction of the cathedral began in 1201 under Robert II of Bassavilla, following the destruction of previous religious structures by barbarian invasions.
The facade features three portals with intricate stone carvings depicting Christ, pilgrims, angels, peacocks, and griffins created by local craftsmen.
The cathedral houses a collection of polychrome wooden statues, historic frescoes, sacred silverware, and religious vestments available for viewing.
Archaeological excavations in 1925 revealed an underground area containing tombs and artifacts from Peucetian, Roman, and medieval periods beneath the cathedral.
