On your tuk-tuk ride, admire a city built on a series of rocky river ridges and ravines, and soak up breathtaking views of this ancient heritage site. Learn everything about Matera from your English or Italian-speaking guide and even enjoy an audio guide. See the distinctive shape of the cave houses, carved from the soft limestone that makes up the rocky cliffs, dotting the landscape like honeycombs.
Arrive at the heart of the historical center, the Vittorio Veneto Square. Here, the imposing Matera Cathedral dominates the skyline, its ornate facade a masterpiece of medieval architecture. Travel back in time with a visit to the Cave House, a site inhabited by the poor and the marginalized sections of society until only 50 years ago. Cave houses were divided into different cooking, sleeping, and living spaces. Observe the rough-hewn walls, ancient artifacts, and tools scattered throughout the rooms.
Stop to capture exquisite photos of the expansive views of both districts of Matera – Sasso Barisano and Sasso Caveoso.
