San Cataldo

Image 10 of 13

Constructed immediately near the martora, the church of San Cataldo is distinctive, with the bright red dome that rises above the decorative cornice.When William succeeded his father in 1154, he named Maio from Bari as a great admiral.Maio dedicated the church of a saint in his homeland, Bishop Cataldo de Trani, and chose the Latin plan, a three-color basil.Its Arab-Normand character is also demonstrated by the cubic exterior, with three windows on each side, surrounded by blind arches, and the finely carved edge that takes place around the upper edge.Apart from the beautifully ornate inlaid of the floor and the Corinthian capitals on the four ancient columns, the interior is entirely without decoration.
