Diocesano Museum of Biseglie

The Museo Diocesano di Bisceglie  is a treasure trove that carefully and devotedly preserves the town's rich artistic and religious heritage. 

The building, skilfully restored in the 1970s, dates back to 1696 and stands next to the Romanesque cathedral; visitors enter through an evocative courtyard, where climbing the stone staircase brings a sense of calm, preparing the eye to be filled with wonder.

Eighteen rooms, some featuring perfectly preserved painted wooden ceilings, house works of sacred art including paintings and sculptures, votive offerings, liturgical vestments, ancient manuscripts and exquisite traditional lace.

The collections span a broad period of time, from the Middle Ages to the modern era, offering a journey through the history of the diocese.
