Roman Catholic Diocese of Dragonara

The Roman Catholic Diocese of Dragonara (Latin: Dioecesis Dragonariensis) was a Roman Catholic diocese located in the town of Torremaggiore in the province of Foggia in the Apulia region of southeast Italy. It was established as a diocese in 1039.[1][2] On 21 February 1580, it was suppressed, and its territory and Catholic population were assigned to the Diocese of San Severo.
