detail of the Sanctuary and the Monastery of Santa Maria degli Angeli, Cassano delle Murge, Bari province, Puglia region (Apulia), southern Italy, Sep
The Sanctuary-Convent of Santa Maria Degli Angeli is a few minutes' walk outside the city walls and is, to this day, a small convent among the caves run by the Augustinian Fathers. The story linked to its origin is extremely suggestive, since it is said that several apparitions of the Virgin Mary took place here. A few years later, a frescoed representation of a sacred image was found, right on one of the walls of the cave and here an extremely suggestive convent was built, full of marvelous works of art. The Convent is accessible to all and the ticket has no cost, so you absolutely cannot miss it!
