History
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 1818.06.27).
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.
It became a minor basilica by papal decree of 12 February 1981.
