Ruvo di Puglia - Concattedrale di Ruvo di Puglia


Ruvo di Puglia, founded probably by Greek settlers, was a "municipium" in Roman times. After the fall of the Western Roman Empire, it got destroyed by Visigothic troops in the 5th centuryand later again by the Lombards. It was then Byzantine and later under Saracen and the Norman power.
The Ruvo Cathedral, once the episcopal seat of the Diocese of Ruvo, is now a co-cathedral in the Diocese of Molfetta-Ruvo-Giovinazzo-Terlizzi. It was built over a previous church and is an important example of late Apulian Romanesque architecture, built between the 12th and 13th centuries.
The current exterior is the result of early 20th-century restoration works which removed the Baroque additions. The church has a sloped façade with three portals. The central and larger one is flanked by two columns surmounted by griphons (here left and right). The outer archivolt has Christ in the center, flanked by the Virgin and John the Baptist, while all the apostles line the curve. Below is the Lamb of God and the symbols of the evangelists.
