I saw this place today as it was being prepared for wedding ceremony and it looked very special.
Below the Cathedral of Barletta, accessing the stairs located in the center of the left nave leads to the underground excavations that narrate the history of the site. An upstream lighting system allows you to visit the excavations on an iron path and walking on windows. The current basilica of Santa Maria Maggiore is in fact the result of an evolution and overlap of different places of worship, belonging to different eras. In the 4th - 3rd century BC there are cave tombs from the pre-Christian era and later in the 6th century there is the early Christian basilica. Then IX - X century: early medieval basilica; later in the XII - XIII century the Romanesque basilica (current; front). Finally from the 14th century: Gothic apses (current; rear).
One of the most beautiful church interiors I've ever seen! Completely in stone, sober but at the same time particular ... more than a Christian church it makes one think first of all of a sacred, spiritual place, beyond the specific religion
a truly splendid church with a unique history and architecture. never seen such a thing.
Monumental
