Cathedral interior
Uno dei più fulgidi esempi di architettura romanico pugliese a Bari. Sorta fra il XII e il XIII secolo sulle rovine del Duomo bizantino distrutto dal normanno Guglielmo il Malo, la Cattedrale presenta una facciata in luminosa pietra calcarea, ornata da archetti, lesene e un rosone dalla ghiera istoriata. Da ammirare le testate del transetto, con rosoni e bifore, la trulla (antico battistero convertito in sacrestia) e il campanile dall’alta cuspide. L’interno a tre navate, spogliato dagli stucchi barocchi all’inizio del Novecento, appare solenne e armonioso, sobriamente decorato da elementi scolpiti nel calcare a vista.
Il 21 giugno, giorno del solstizio d’estate, nella cattedrale si osserva un fenomeno insolito: intorno alle 17, i raggi solari che penetrano dai 18 spicchi del rosone della facciata vanno a combaciare perfettamente con i petali della rosa che orna il pavimento della navata.
Sotto il transetto si trova la cripta, con l’icona della Vergine Odegitria, cui la chiesa era dedicata anticamente, le reliquie di San Sabino e Santa Colomba. Accanto alla cripta si estende il succorpo, un ambiente dalla storia stratificata decorato da mosaici e affreschi, dove elementi dell’antica chiesa bizantina coesistono con rovine romane.

One of the most shining examples of Apulian Romanesque architecture in Bari. Built between the twelfth and thirteenth centuries on the ruins of the Byzantine cathedral destroyed by the Norman William the Bad, the cathedral has a bright limestone facade, adorned with arches, pilasters and a rose window with a historiated lintel. To admire the heads of the transept, with rose windows and mullioned windows, the trulla (ancient baptistery converted into a sacristy) and the bell tower with its high spire. The three-nave interior, stripped of its baroque stuccoes at the beginning of the twentieth century, appears solemn and harmonious, soberly decorated with elements carved in exposed limestone.
On 21 June, the day of the summer solstice, there is an unusual phenomenon in the cathedral: around 5 p.m., the sun's rays that penetrate the 18 segments of the rose window on the facade perfectly match the petals of the rose that adorns the floor of the nave.
Under the transept is the crypt, with the icon of the Virgin Odegitria, to whom the church was dedicated in ancient times, the relics of St. Sabine and St. Dove. Next to the crypt there is the succorpo, an environment with a layered history decorated with mosaics and frescoes, where elements of the ancient Byzantine church coexist with Roman ruins.
