Chiesa di Santa Croce, Catholic church in Altamura, Italy.
The Santa Croce Church stands along its namesake street in Altamura, featuring internal architecture that reflects various historical design periods.
The first written record of the church dates to April 12, 1466, though Giovanni Antonio Orsini del Balzo likely constructed it earlier to honor his mother.
The church building housed fifteenth-century frescoes depicting Emperor Heraclius and his wife Elena, representing significant religious art of the period.
The structure underwent multiple renovations during the nineteenth century, which modified substantial portions of its original architectural elements.
The church established the Santa Croce Conservatory in the seventeenth century, providing education and shelter to hundreds of underprivileged women.
