Matera
Sun, rocks and water – these are the three elements upon which Matera, from very ancient times, has built its identity and this fascination still remains today. Its historic centre, the first site in Basilicata and southern Italy to be included in UNESCO’s World Heritage List, is made up of three distinct quarters, Sasso Caveoso, Barisano and Civita. Matera is also known as Città dei Sassi or Sotterranea (city of stones, or underground city) for its exceptionally preserved heritage of rock-cut houses. So as you stroll through the charming alleyways of Matera, you will find houses inserted in ancient caves such as those of Vico Solitario, small rupestrian churches, quarries dating back to prehistoric times, narrow streets, bathed by the sun and scented with moss and stone. For the beauty of its historic heart and its lively cultural life, Matera is the first city of southern Italy to be nominated as European Capital of Culture for 2019.
