DUOMO
Cathedral of Foggia, destroyed by the earthquake of 1731
Built in 1172 by William the Good, the cathedral of Foggia was practically destroyed by the earthquake of 1731, which left only the lower part, in the Pisan style. The upper part of the cathedral is in Baroque style. It is worth visiting the 11th century crypt with its beautifully carved capitals and, in the furnishings, the paintings by De Mura and Grilli, the crucifix by Pietro Frasa and the stained-glass windows by Milone. The Chapel of the Icona Vetere preserves the precious icon of the Madonna delle Sette Veli.
