Apart from the Doumo, the square in front of it offers great views over the old city of Metera.
A must see in Matera.
And of cours, hop into the Cathedral as well.

Views are nice from the square, as you can see a large area of old Matera with all the rooftops, stairs, winding streets.

We love the Italian cathedrals and this is no exception. Beautiful outside and inside the decoration is breathtaking. From the plaza are sone wonderful views of Sassi. All in all this has been one of our favourite places in Italy so far during our road trip

Italians have a diminutive suffix for small squares. Given the size of the Piazza Duomo, I would call it a Piazzetta rather than a Piazza. In addition, it is filled with cars during the day. Its only obvious advantage is not the view of the Cathedral, which is so-so , but the view of the city from the observation platform. Not the best in Matera. but it is noteworthy.

From this plaza we see the beautiful Matera Cathedral and across the plaza is a wonderful view of the Sassi district.

Visited the church today. The art work inside is very nice and worth seeing. They were doing some excavations and you can see the work they are uncovering.

Small but ornate cathedral situated in a world heritage environment. It was not busy when I went in the afternoon (Thursday).

The Duomo is the heart of Matera. They've been working on restoring it for the last 15+ years. As an added bonus, in front of the Duomo, there is a place where you can look out over the entire Sassi! Great place for a photo op.
