Santi Medici, Minor basilica in Bitonto, Italy.

The basilica features a Latin cross layout with a 60-meter-long nave and a 20-meter transept, incorporating modern architectural elements throughout the structure.

The construction of Santi Medici began on May 5, 1960, and after thirteen years of work, Bishop Aurelio Marena consecrated the church in March 1973.

The basilica holds the relics of Saints Cosmas and Damian, which were transferred from the San Giorgio church to accommodate increasing numbers of faithful.

The basilica maintains a hospice service that delivers palliative care for terminally ill patients in connection with the National Health Service.

A large pipe organ built in 1971 by Ruffatti of Padua sits in the counter-facade choir loft, featuring 60 registers across three manuals and pedals.
