Acquaviva Cathedral, Co-cathedral in Acquaviva delle Fonti, Italy
The Concatedral de San Eustaquio features Romanesque architecture with a Latin cross layout, three naves, and a Renaissance rose window containing sixteen columns.
Construction of the cathedral started in 1529 during the feudal rule of Giovanni Antonio Donato Acquaviva and reached completion in 1594 under Alberto Acquaviva's governance.
The cathedral maintains its status as a palatine church, indicating direct royal ownership, which granted independence from regular ecclesiastical jurisdiction.
The cathedral contains a crypt with twenty-four vaults supported by fourteen marble columns, housing three altars, with one dedicated to Saint Eustace.
Ferdinand II, the penultimate king of the Two Sicilies, attended mass in the cathedral's crypt on January 13, 1859, during his journey to Bari.
