Cathedral of San Sabino, Romanesque basilica and co-cathedral in Canosa di Puglia, Italy.

The cathedral features five domes above its Latin cross layout, with marble columns supporting arches and Corinthian capitals from ancient monuments.

Founded in the 8th century by Duke Arechis II of Benevento, the cathedral received its dedication to Saint Sabinus in 1101 by Pope Paschal II.

The central stained glass window displays Saint Sabinus, the 6th-century bishop who became the patron saint of this religious center.

The cathedral offers free admission and provides guided tours every Saturday from July through September, allowing visitors to explore its architectural elements.

The episcopal throne inside the cathedral rests upon two carved elephant sculptures, representing an exceptional feature of medieval Italian religious furniture.
