Monopoli Cathedral

Monopoli Cathedral, otherwise the Basilica of the Madonna della Madia or Santa Maria della Madia (Italian: Duomo di Monopoli; Basilica Concattedrale di Maria Santissima della Madia) is a Roman Catholic cathedral in the town of Monopoli, in the province of Bari, region of Apulia, Italy.

It is dedicated to the Virgin Mary under the title of the Madonna della Madia, after an icon kept here.

A miracle occurred in 1117 when a raft carrying an icon of the Madonna drifted into the harbour.

The chapel contains two large canvases by Pietro Bardellino, and there are 6 small 18th-century paintings depicting the Life of the Virgin by Michele del Pezzo.

A series of four paintings (1732) in the Chapel of the Martyrs by Michelangelo Signorile recounts the Miracle of the Raft.
