Ostuni Cathedral - Co-Cathedral of Santa Maria Assunta

The Co-Cathedral of Ostuni, located at the top of the highest hill in the city and dedicated to Santa Maria dell'Assumption, was begun in 1435 and completed between 1470 and 1495.

It has a characteristic facade of late Gothic forms, divided into three parts by pilasters. The central part ends with a tympanum formed by two inflected arches, the wings with two half lunettes; tympanum and lunettes have a crowning of trefoil arches with a serrated profile on carved corbels, which extends along the sides and around the transept.

The façade is opened by three elegant ogival portals (in the lunette of the middle one a bas-relief depicts the Madonna and Child in glory) each surmounted by a rose window, of which the central one, considerably larger, has 24 rays. Other rose windows are in the heads of the transept.
