"Andria Cathedral" is a Roman Catholic cathedral in Andria in Apulia, Italy, which up to 2009 was in the Province of Bari but from then onwards part of the newly formed Province of Barletta-Andria-Trani. It is dedicated to the Assumption of the Virgin Mary and is the seat of the Bishop of Andria.

Even the journey to the Belvedere is an experience in itself, especially at dusk. The viewpoint, often bustling with visitors, offers a perfect view of the iconic Lama Monachile Bay. Here, the contrast between the turquoise water, steep cliffs, and whitewashed houses of the town creates a breathtaking scene. Despite the crowds, it's well worth the visit — especially when the wind whips through the narrow streets and the sea crashes wildly beneath you. As the sun sets, the turquoise water glows with golden light, making it a beautifully romantic spot. By then, most day-trippers have gone, and a peaceful calm settles in.
