The “Imperial Roman” itinerary is peppered with outstanding monuments, such as the Roman Bridge over the river Ofanto, which is characterized by five arches supported by four spire-shaped pillars, and the remains of the Temple of Giove Toro, an hexastyle peripteral which is embellished by ten columns on each long side.
The pride of the “early Christian” itinerary is the Basilica of St. Leucio, which is one of the major examples of early Christian architecture in Apulia. The pagan temple of Minerva was turned into a Christian Basilica between the IV and the V century A.D; it is embellished by Doric and Ionic columns, carved capitals and polychromatic mosaics.
The “Byzantine-Medieval” itinerary is commanded by the Cathedral of St. Sabino, which was erected around 1080 to celebrate a local bishop who lived here in the VI century. The basilica, which has a Latin cross, is surmounted by five ribbed vaults; its apse and transept were realized according to the canons of the Romanesque-Byzantine architectural style.
