This Romanesque building from the late 11th century has early Christian church ruins in the lower level. There is a tile figure of a Gryphon (Griffin) dating back a couple thousand years. It was found while repairing a church floor. A gryphon is described as a mythical monster with head and wings of a bird and body of a feline and a symbol in Christian art of the double nature of Jesus Christ -- divine and human. There is a viewing area on the main floor level to look down on the Gryphon. But going down to the lower level allows a better view and prespective. The Ambo (pulpit) is of marble carved by Apulian stonecarvers.

La biblioteca Eustachio Rogadeo è nel cuore del centro storico di Bitonto a pochi passi dalla Cattedrale.
L'ho visitata durante la manifestazione Bitonto Cortili Aperti e ne sono rimasto piacevolmente sorpreso.
Divisa in diversi ambienti di varie dimensioni, custodisce un patrimonio librario considerevole, con opere che vanno dal XV-XVI secolo ai giorni nostri. Ho apprezzato particolarmente la bellezza delle stanze che costituivano il nucleo originario della biblioteca, di cui pubblico alcune foto.

E' una chiesa moderna, dedicata ai Santi Medici, Patroni di Bitonto, Cosma e Damiano. E' divenuta un simbolo della città e la si scorge a notevole distanza. E' situata in piazza 26 maggio 1734. Dietro il Santuario le costruzioni della Fondazione. Davanti alla Chiesa l'obelisco Carolino.
9. Chiesa di San Francesco D'Assisi
