Ferrandina's old town is pervaded with history and fascination. It gathers plenty of prestigious private and public architectures, ancient buildings and noteworthy monasteries: St. Chiara, St. Francesco, St. Domenico and Cappuccini. Not to be missed are the sumptuous aristocratic palaces which are ornamented with Napoleon-style halls and portals. The city's most important building is the church of St. Maria della Croce, which was built in 1492 and is embellished by three Byzantine-style domes and a precious facade, which is in turn subdivided into three original sixteenth-century portals.
