Manfredonia Cathedral, Roman Catholic cathedral in Puglia, Italy.

The cathedral features a travertine marble facade, a bell tower from 1677, and contains frescoes depicting religious figures and local saints from 1940.

The construction started in 1270 after moving the bishops' seat from Siponto, but Turkish forces destroyed the first building in 1620, leading to rebuilding in 1700.

The cathedral preserves baptismal registers from 1600, portraits of former archbishops, and houses the remains of Saint Laurence, moved there in 1327.

The cathedral serves as the seat of the Archbishop of Manfredonia-Vieste-San Giovanni Rotondo and maintains regular religious services for the community.

Cardinal Angelo Giuseppe Roncalli blessed the statue of Madonna in 1955, which carries a golden crown decorated with diamonds.
