Matera

Matera, located in southern Italy, is famous for its stunning 'Sassi', ancient cave dwellings carved into the rock. This unique landscape has earned it a UNESCO World Heritage status, a testament to thousands of years of human history.

During your visit, don't miss the Matera Cathedral, a masterpiece of Apulian Romanesque art, and the fascinating MUSMA Museum, dedicated to contemporary sculpture. The old quarter of Sassi di Matera offers an authentic experience with its narrow alleyways and rock churches.

Delve deeper into this captivating city by discovering its lesser-known aspects, like the charming Barisano district and its breathtaking views, or by participating in local festivals that enliven the city's cultural scene throughout the year.
