I could be wrong, but it looks like a garden spider of the genus Argiope.

Hi, welcome to Spider ID. 🙂 This is a Giant House Spider (Eratigena sp.). Three similar species were synonymized as Eratigena atrica a few years ago and because of DNA testing were recently split back into 3 species. I need to re-familiarize myself with them.
