Area information

Matera is an ancient cave city and the second province in the Basilicata region of Italy. Almost entirely dug into the rock, Matera is one of the few towns in the world to enchant tourists with its rare and astonishing heritage of dwellings. Located in an area which was formerly Lucania, this marvellous place will make you discover a past that is still alive today.

The historic area known as the Sassi (the stones) clings to the side of La Gravina ravine. The Sassi are called Barisano and Caveoso and they correspond to the ancient urban quarters of the town. Since 1993, the Sassi of Matera have been declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site. This amazingly beautiful town is also an incredible example of prehistoric bio-engineering, featuring a complex rain water harvesting system.

Matera is such a fascinating place that it caught the eye of many 20th century directors. Among those who chose the town as a set for their movies are Mel Gibson with 'The Passion of the Christ', Pierpaolo Pasolini with 'Christ Stopped at Eboli' and Catherine Hardwick with 'The Nativity Story'. Not only does Matera boast the Sassi, but it also features other tourist attractions such as churches in the old town centre and a number of thematic museums.
