Matera, Basilicata, Italy - 29 october 2023: The Cathedral of the Madonna della Bruna, in Apulian Romanesque style, was built in the 13th century on the highest spur of the Civita that divides the two Sassi, on the area of the ancient Benedictine monastery of Sant'Eustachio, one of the two patron saints of the city. On the outside, note the sixteen-ray rose window and the 52 meter high bell tower; Inside, noteworthy are a Byzantine fresco of the Madonna della Bruna, a sixteenth-century nativity scene by the sculptor Altobello Persio and a fresco depicting the Final Judgement.

The majestic and beautiful facade of the Duomo in the old town of Matera, known worldwide as 'Sassi di Matera' (Matera's Stones). The Duomo, or Cattedrale di Santa Maria della Bruna e di Sant'Eustachio, it is a masterpiece of the Apulian Romanesque style, built in the 13th century. The Cathedral, with a Latin cross plan with three naves, has a precious facade dominated by a rose window and a bell tower 52 meters high. Inside there are numerous works of art, including a series of Byzantine-style frescoes. The ancient city of Matera, in the region of Basilicata, in southern Italy, is one of the oldest urban settlements in the world, with a human presence that dates back to more than 9,000 years ago, in the Paleolithic period. The Matera settlement stands on two rocky limestone hills called 'Sassi' (Sasso Caveoso and Sasso Barisano), where the first human communities lived in the caves of the area. The rock cavities have served over the centuries as a primitive dwelling, foundations and material for the construction of houses, roads and beautiful churches, making Matera a unique city in the world. In 1993 the Sassi of Matera were declared a World Heritage Site by Unesco. Super wide angle image in high definition format.
