Cathedral of San Sabino, Romanesque cathedral in Bari, Italy
The cathedral features a geometric facade with a central rose window, three naves divided by columns, and marble floors with intricate patterns.
Built between the 12th and 13th centuries on the ruins of a Byzantine cathedral, the structure was consecrated in 1292 under Archbishop Rainaldo.
The diocesan museum houses the Exultet, an illuminated Byzantine-style parchment scroll used during Easter celebrations in medieval times.
The underground archaeological area contains remains of the ancient Byzantine cathedral, including colored mosaics and funeral chambers open to visitors.
During summer solstice, sunlight illuminates the floor mosaic through the rose window, creating a perfect alignment between these architectural elements.
