This spot, along with the church, offers one of the best viewpoints of Matera’s stunning landscape. The walk up may be a bit of a climb, but it’s absolutely worth it for the breathtaking views that await. From here, you get an incredible panorama of the ancient stone city with its unique caves and historic architecture, which almost seem to glow at sunset. The rugged landscape combined with the timeless beauty of Matera’s buildings creates a view that feels like stepping back in time. The atmosphere is serene and awe-inspiring, making it an unforgettable part of any visit to Matera.

La Catedral de Matera, oficialmente conocida como la Catedral de Santa María de la Bruna y San Eustaquio (Cattedrale di Santa Maria della Bruna e Sant'Eustachio), es un imponente edificio religioso situado en el punto más alto de la ciudad, en la colina de la Civita. Su construcción se inició en 1203 y se completó en 1270, reflejando el estilo románico pugliese. Fue edificada sobre el emplazamiento de un antiguo monasterio benedictino dedicado a San Eustaquio. La construcción fue motivada por la elevación de Matera a sede arzobispal unida a Acerenza. Originalmente dedicada a Santa María de Matera, posteriormente fue renombrada como Santa María de la Bruna (patrona de la ciudad) en 1389, y finalmente, a partir de 1627, también se dedicó a San Eustaquio. Aunque el exterior conserva gran parte de su aspecto románico original, el interior ha sufrido importantes modificaciones a lo largo de los siglos, especialmente en los siglos XVII y XVIII, con la adición de estucos, dorados y un techo falso de madera, dándole un toque barroco. Sin embargo, aún se pueden apreciar elementos medievales como frescos y capiteles de piedra. Destacan en su interior un coro de madera tallada, un pesebre esculpido por Altobello Persio en 1534, y un fresco bizantino de la Madonna della Bruna del siglo XIII. El campanario, de base cuadrada, se erigió en el siglo XVII y alcanza los 52 metros de altura. En resumen, la Catedral de Matera es un testimonio de la historia de la ciudad, con raíces en el siglo XIII y transformaciones que reflejan los diferentes periodos artísticos y religiosos.

There is no doubt that this is a must visit spot in Matera. You would have seen it from many different angles even before you get close to it, as it stands out high in the entire old town. Though there is a fee to get inside, it is strongly recommended to do so (also there is paid washroom inside and that's the only one I could pay to use). Even though it is well decocrated inside, some historic spots are also pretected by adding glass cover over the top, so you can see them through the glass and wall on top of them.

Situata sul punto più elevato di Matera, la Basilica Pontificia-Cattedrale con il suo alto campanile si distingue per la sua imponenza tra le piccole e fitte abitazioni del Sasso Barisano. Per questo è diventata il soggetto di numerosi scatti durante la nostra visita ai Sassi di Matera. Il balcone in Piazza Duomo, davanti al Sagrato, offre una vista incantevole, dove le panoramiche si sprecano. Riprendere il Sagrato, la stupenda facciata e il complesso edificio è un’impresa ardua per via delle numerose auto, che stazionano indisturbate in Piazza Duomo. Uno scempio che andrebbe evitato. L’interno molto luminoso, a tre navate con transetto a formare la consueta croce latina, mostra la magnificenza del Barocco sovrapposta all’originario stile romanico pugliese. La ricchezza è mostrata non solo dalle lamine d’oro, che rivestono i fregi e le cornici, ma anche e soprattutto dalle numerose opere d’arte presenti, quali l’affresco trecentesco sulla parete dietro il fonte battesimale, la Cappella della Madonna della Bruna con il famoso affresco bizantino, la Cappella rinascimentale dell’Annunziata, la Cappella del Presepe, il Dossale di Altare con sculture pregevoli, la Pale dell’Altare maggiore del 1600 ed il coro ligneo con 60 stalle del 1500 e numerose altre.
