English: Inscription on one of the two gates of Altamura Cathedral. It says that the cathedral collapsed on January 29, 1316 and it was rebuilt. (Transcribed by Ottavio Serena)
Annus millenus sextus denusque tricenus
Currebat certus regit et rex regna Robertus
Lux non sorte bona Jani vicesimanova
O scelus o quantum templum ruit hoc fleo sanctum
Consilii nati reapararunt arte probati
Urbe Botontina. Vivat gens Altamurina
Translated by Ottavio Serena as follows,
Correndo l'anno 1316 e reggendo i regni il re Roberto nel giorno malaugurato 29 gennaio ruinò (che disgrazia!) il santo tempio che io piango. I figli di Consiglio della città di Bitonto, esperti nell'arte, lo restaurarono. Viva la gente altamurana.
