On 15 June Polignano a Mare celebrates Saint Vitus the martyr. The town keeps his relics — a fragment of the arm and the kneecap — and on the coast to the north lies the hamlet named after him, with the abbey on its little harbour.
The patron of Polignano a Mare is Saint Vitus the martyr, celebrated on 15 June. His relics are kept in the Cappellone di San Vito: a fragment of the arm and the kneecap.
The saint also gives his name to a hamlet on the coast north of the town, where right beside the little harbour rises the imposing complex of the Benedictine abbey.
