Cathedral, Baroque cathedral in Ugento, Italy.
The Cathedral of Santa Maria Assunta features a single nave with a Latin cross layout and a neoclassical facade supported by four Ionic columns.
Built in the early 1700s following the destruction of a Gothic church by Saracen raids in 1537, the cathedral opened for worship in 1745.
The cathedral preserves numerous marble altars along its walls, including dedicated spaces to Saint Vincent and artworks depicting religious scenes by local artists.
Located in central Ugento, the cathedral maintains regular opening hours for religious services and welcomes visitors interested in its architectural features.
The presbytery contains an olive wood choir in Rococo style and a polychrome marble altar from 1740 bearing the coat of arms of Bishop Ciccarelli.
