Facts and practical information

The basilica minor del Santissimo Rosario is a Catholic place of worship located in Francavilla Fontana, an Italian municipality in the province of Brindisi in Puglia. It is the largest church in the diocese of Oria, of which it is a part, and has the highest dome in Salento, with a diameter of 13 meters.

The present building is the result of reconstruction in 1743, after an earthquake had destroyed much of the church built in the 14th century at the behest of Philip I of Anjou.
