ST. GIACOMO COMPOSTELLA
CHURCH
Built in 1423 by
anonymous artists, commissioned by the noble Pietro Caballerio,
it presents a portal with a gothic arch embroidered with floral
decorations and valuable carvings.
It is one of the most ancient
chapels of the city, located along a street that is the
residence of aristocratic and noble Ostuni families whose memory
is still visible thanks to the badges placed on many portals.
Inside the church we can find the 18th century altar
shovel showing St. Irene with the city of Ostuni.
Along the city walls
near the church one can see the apse area. The apse was removed
in the 17th century, during the restructuring of the
city walls. The ogival arch that delimited the demolished apse
and a series of the lancets of the bell tower can still be seen.
