Cathedral of St. Nicholas, Romanesque cathedral in San Marco Argentano, Italy

The Cathedral of St. Nicholas features a square structure with two low massive towers framing the main entrance and limestone block construction.

The construction period extended from 1087 to 1197, during the time of significant Italo-Norman influence throughout the Apulia region of Italy.

The cathedral preserves multiple architectural elements from different periods, including granite columns and Byzantine-influenced design patterns in its interior spaces.

Visitors can access the cathedral through the main entrance on Via Palazzo, where they will find the central nave flanked by two aisles.

The marble bishop's throne, known as Elias's Cathedra, contains an unexpected Arabic inscription dating from the late 11th century.
