Beautiful church with a hidden treasure. Underneath the church, entered via the crypt is a early Christian church which was excavated in the 80s/90s and has wonderful mosaics. There are plenty of very good information boards on the church and excavation throughout (Italian, English, fresh and German) which also provide images of what the church would have looked like. The entrance fee of €3 each was well worth it.

Excellent viewing spot to see the city. Guides should stop texting and guide, though.

Large collection of art and the museum is very beautiful. There are also concerts every month. Definitely a great place to enjoy some quiet time.

Really love the location. The apartment was very big with a lot of space. Located in historic part of Bitonto and it is such a quiet place. Also breakfast was included, super friendly owner and everything was very clean. Really the best value.

(Translated by Google) It is a quiet place, immersed in a past, present! Well organized and full of volumes, in short, it's worth stopping by for a few hours a day, obviously if you can! (Original) È un posto tranquillo, immerso in un passato, presente! Organizzato bene e ricco di volumi, insomma vale la pena di sostare qualche ora al giorno, ovviamente potendo!

(Translated by Google) Beautiful, it is located in the central Piazza Santa Croce. The building dates back to 1703 and is owned by the brotherhood. Rich in altars, it hosts paintings by Gliri and other important artists. The wooden decoration with sculptures and canvases that adorns the central dome is beautiful. The façade is rich and lively: an entablature divides it into two orders, the upper one, in turn punctuated by pilasters in three compartments, houses three niches with statues depicting the Immaculate on the Bitontine model, San Rocco and San Nicola Pellegrino, works by Giovanni Altieri . three portals open with the main one surmounted by a pediment depicting Saint Michael and the Purgative Souls. In the frieze we read the inscription  Stretch out your hand so that Saint Michael, with the help of the Virgin, frees the souls that the purgative fire burns. In the corresponding friezes of the right and left secondary portals we can read, also engraved, the inscriptions Forgive me so that I may have refreshment and in the other, beyond the date of the beginning of the works 1669, there is: Turn and have mercy on myself. In 1734, following a project by the architect Vito Valentini from Bitonto, for architectural needs of completing the main façade but also of static shoring and to contrast the tendency of the entire building to slide towards the left, the construction works of the bell tower were completed. In 1880 a clock and sundial were installed. (Original) Bellissima, sorge nella centrale piazza Santa Croce. L'edificio risale al 1703 ed è di proprietà della confraternita. Ricca di altari ospita tele del Gliri e altri importanti artisti. Bellissimo il decoro ligneo con sculture e tele che orna la cupola centrale. Ricca e movimentata la facciata: una trabeazione suddivide in due ordini, il superiore, a sua volta ritmato da lesene in tre scomparti, accoglie tre nicchie con statue raffiguranti l'Immacolata sul modello bitontino, San Rocco e San Nicola Pellegrino, opere di Giovanni Altieri. aprono tre portali con il principale sormontato da un frontone raffigurante San Michele e le Anime purganti. Nel fregio si legge l'iscrizione  Stendi la mano affinché San Michele con l'ausilio della Vergine liberi le anime che il fuoco purgante brucia. Nei corrispettivi fregi dei portali secondari destro e di sinistra si leggono, anch'essi a loro volta incisi, le iscrizioni Perdonami perché abbia refrigerio e nell'altro, oltre la data dell'inizio dei lavori 1669, vi è: Volgiti e abbi pietà di me. Nel 1734 su progetto dell'architetto Vito Valentini di Bitonto, per esigenze architettoniche di completamento della facciata principale ma anche di puntellamento statico e di contrasto alla tendenza allo slittamento verso sinistra dell'intero manufatto, furono terminati i lavori di costruzione del campanile. Nel 1880 venne installato un orologio e una meridiana.

The square with the arch is an emblem of Bitonto, continue the walk in the historic district to the cathedral (Original) Une belle façade, un bel intérieur. La place avec l'arche est un emblème de Bitonto, poursuivre la ballade dans le quartier historique jusqu'à la cathédrale

Really beautiful

Super

Pleasant small park, well kept, fenced, green, a lot of benches, wc, nice playground for children.

(Translated by Google) Wonderful enchanting (Original) Meraviglioso incantevole

(Translated by Google) Historic building open only on rare occasions (open courtyards, FAI days). It would need to be restored and brought back to its initial splendor given that the loggia is not accessible. Proposing an entrance ticket wouldn't be bad (Original) Palazzo storico aperto solo in rare occasioni (cortili aperti, giornate FAI). Sarebbe da ristrutturare e riportare allo splendore iniziale visto che il loggiato non è accessibile. Proporre un ticket d’ingresso non sarebbe male

(Translated by Google) The oldest monastery of Bitonto is the one dedicated to St. Leo the Great, built north of the city at about 800 m. of the entrance to the ancient village (Porta Baresana). The interior was redone at the end of the 19th century based on a design by Bernich; the ogival arch and the frescoed apse remain of the original structures. In this unitary environment, the visibility of the choir room is clear. Very beautiful stone structure. Definitely worth visiting. Church very frequented by many faithful and organized to help many in difficulty. (Original) Il più antico monastero di Bitonto è quello dedicato a S. Leone Magno, sorto a Nord della città a circa 800 m. dell’ingresso del borgo antico (porta Baresana). L’interno è stato rifatto alla fine dell’800 su progetto del Bernich; rimangono delle strutture originarie l’arco ogivale e l’abside affrescata. In questo ambiente unitario, è chiara la visibilità del vano del coro. Struttura in pietra molto bella. Da visitare sicuramente. Chiesa molto frequentata da tanti fedeli ed organizzata per aiutare tanti in difficoltà.
