Sanctuary of Saint Mary of the Angels

Highlight • Religious Site

In about 1250, following a triple revealing vision to a pious priest from Cassano, the image of the "Madonna degli Angeli" was discovered, frescoed on a wall of the natural cave located on the Murgia di Cassano. The Sacred Image had been hidden in the millennial cave following the persecutions (717-741) of Leo III, known as the Iconoclast. The discovery immediately brought not only the Cassanese population but also a large mass of pilgrims from all over the world to the hill.

One of the few saints who are also highly valued outside of Christianity is San FRANCESCO, known in German-speaking countries as Francis of Assisi. Francis was born in Assisi in 1181/82 and died in 1226. In his youth, the son of wealthy parents, he was more of a bon vivant, but later turned to Christ. In the half-ruined little church of San Damiano, located on the hillside outside the city walls of Assisi, he was praying one day and heard the voice of Christ coming down from the cross, calling on him to “rebuild his church”. At first he took this request literally and restored the church building; later he realized that this was primarily about the church as the community of believers.
Francis became a role model for many people, they joined him, and the "Order of Friars Minor" (Ordo Fratrum Minorum) of Francis of Assisi was created.

Through a portico made of three round arches, we enter a small terrace dedicated to the Italian painter Luigi Guerricchio, born in Matera. There is a panoramic view of old Matera from here.

Cassano delle Murge

Highlight • Settlement

Cassano delle Murge is a town in the lower Murgia area of Bari, at about 300 meters above sea level. Among its most notable monuments are the mother church of Santa Maria Assunta, the ducal palace and the Capuchin convent. A walk in the historic center cannot be missed, but be careful because the limestone slab flooring can be treacherous with road bikes.
