building in Vieste, Italy
It was built in Apulian Romanesque style as a cathedral when Vieste was still a Latin Catholic diocese (until its merger into the present Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Manfredonia–Vieste–San Giovanni Rotondo on 27 June 1818).
It is dedicated to the Assumption of Mary. It has a basilica plan with a nave and two aisles. Its bell tower was rebuilt in Baroque style in the 18th century after the previous one collapsed.
The co-cathedral of Viesti became a minor basilica by decree of Pope John Paul II on 12 February 1981.
