Cattedrale di Santa Maria Assunta

The Cattedrale di Santa Maria Assunta follows a basilica plan with three naves and multiple chapels arranged along its central structure.

Robert Guiscard initiated the cathedral's construction in the 11th century, while his nephew Roberto di Montescaglioso provided funding for the religious building.

The cathedral exhibits numerous artworks, including a 16th-century triptych depicting the Madonna and Child between Saints Francis and Anthony by Maestro ZT.

The cathedral stands in Piazza Raffaello delle Nocche, maintaining regular services under the guidance of Archbishop Antonio Giuseppe Caiazzo.

The Secretarium chapel contains a fragment of a third-century sarcophagus depicting the myth of Myrrha and Adonis with 17th-century stucco decorations.
