Vieste Cathedral, Minor basilica and co-cathedral in Vieste, Italy
Santa Maria Assunta Cathedral stands in the upper section of the medieval village, next to the Swabian castle with its Romanesque architecture and Baroque bell tower.
The cathedral's establishment dates to January 17, 1001, and it underwent reconstruction after damages from Saracen attacks in 1480 and 1554, plus an earthquake in 1646.
The interior columns display Corinthian capitals with engravings of animals and nature, while the wooden ceiling contains three large religious-themed canvas paintings.
The cathedral maintains its position at coordinates 41.8816° N and 16.1805° E, offering visitors access to both religious services and architectural exhibitions.
The structure houses the statue of Madonna di Santa Maria di Merino, a wooden sculpture from the 16th century that sailors discovered on the beach.
