View of the Old Cathedral of San Corrado at the port of Molfetta

The Old Cathedral of San Corrado stands on the northern edge of the ancient village of Molfetta, overlooking the Adriatic port basin. The building is a local limestone structure constructed between the 11th and 13th centuries, characterized by a three-dome axial layout and two watchtowers that serve as bell towers. The site represents a convergence point between Apulian Romanesque religious architecture and coastal defense requirements, given its strategic location by the sea. The area in front hosts the mooring of the fishing fleet, preserving the relationship between the historical urban fabric and the city's traditional maritime activities.
