Foggia Cathedral

Local nameCattedrale Madonna dei Sette Veli o Icona Vetere
LocationFoggia, Italy

Foggia Cathedral, otherwise the Church of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary or Church of Saint Mary of Foggia, is a Roman Catholic cathedral in the city of Foggia, Italy, dedicated to the Assumption of the Virgin Mary. It is the seat of the Archbishop of Foggia-Bovino.

The present Romanesque building was constructed as a collegiate church in the 1170s, but was damaged in the earthquake of 1731 and restored in a Baroque style.

When the Diocese of Foggia was created in 1855, the collegiate church was declared its cathedral. The diocese was elevated to an archdiocese in 1979 and amalgamated with the Diocese of Bovino to form the Archdiocese of Foggia-Bovino in 1986.
