The rose window is one of the most representative elements of Romanesque art and architecture. In this work we want to present 7 rose windows from 7 Apulian Romanesque cathedrals: Foggia, Siponto, Lucera, San Severo, Troia, Cerignola and Bovino - which were built between the 11th and 14th centuries.

Each of these rose windows was designed according to the particular stylistic approach of the corresponding architect, the construction budget and, finally, the architectural composition of the main elevation. Their fretwork circular shape with a mainly radial tracery, and their complex geometry, have made these elements one of the most representative objects in Romanesque and then in Gothic art .
