Chiesa di San Giacomo, Romanesque church in Barletta, Italy.
Chiesa di San Giacomo is a Romanesque church in Barletta featuring stone walls, rounded arches, a single nave, a transept, and an eastern-facing choir. The interior layout reflects the construction methods and design principles of the Romanesque period.
A papal document from 1158 first mentions the church, but archaeological findings suggest it was built on the remains of an ancient temple. This continuity of sacred use at the same location spans from Roman times through the Middle Ages.
The church displays paintings and liturgical objects collected over many centuries. These works show how faith and art were expressed by people who lived here at different times.
The church is located in central Barletta and is easily reached on foot from the main sights of the city. Visitors should expect narrow streets in the historic center and allow time to explore the surrounding area.
In 1205 the church received permission to operate a mill, a tavern, and a furnace. These economic activities reveal how religious institutions were actively involved in the daily life of the community.
