A St. Nicholas Chapel was built onto the cathedral in 1058 to hold the St. Nicholas relic given by Empress Theophanu in 980. This larger chapel was built between 1280 and 1315. The relics were lost during the Nine Years' War (1688-97). The Bishop of Bari gave a new bottle of Manna to the basilica in 1986. A new reliquary was dedicated in 1990. The former cathedral is now a parish church, designated as a basilica in 1925.
