Cathedral of Saint Mary 'della Bruna' and Saint Eustace

Was lucky to visit Matara during July 2020 when there were virtually no tourists, due to COVID-19. Stunning cathedral at the entrance of the old town. First stop on the divento.com itinerary planner which accurately describes it as 'an exquisite edifice, dating back to the 13th century with an essentially Baroque interior and a splendid view of the sassi on one side'

Very ornate with several very well kept paintings. Do not miss the ceiling! Very old, but the paintings very clear and photograph well. Also, hidden to side of High Altar is a very large and ornate nativity scene. Very Large and detailed. In front of the main doors, do not miss the Vista off the ledge-portico. Early morning and late night photograph s very well.
