CANOSA DI PUGLIA, a town of Apulia, Italy (anc. Cann slum), in the province of Bari, on the right bank of the Ofanto (anc. Aufidus), 5o5ft. above sea-level, 15m. S.W. of Barletta by rail. Pop. (1921) 26,375. It was rebuilt by the Normans after its devastation by the Saracens in the 9th century. The former cathedral of S. Sabino (the bishopric passed in 1818 to Andria), in the southern Romanesque style, was consecrated in IIor: it has five low domes and eighteen ancient columns. The archiepis copal throne and pulpit are also fine. Sabinus, the patron saint of Canosa and of Bari, was bishop of Canosa from 514 to 566, and erected a baptistery which is still in existence (carefully described by Nachod in Romische Mitteilungen, 1915, 116 seq.). On the south side of the cathedral is the detached mausoleum of Bohe mund, son of Robert Guiscard, who died in IIII, constructed partly in Byzantine, partly in the local style. It has fine bronze doors with long inscriptions; the exterior is entirely faced with cipollino (Carystian) marble. A mediaeval castle crowns the hill on the side of which the city stands.
