Casa Grotta del Casalnuovo
Museum
👍👍 A significant part of Matera's History not even that far away back to past years. Changes of lifestyle for resident people, definitely came in 1952... That means : tap water, electricity and sanitary facilities in new apartments, not always as large as families would've needed. But... that was the...

Chiesa di Santa Lucia alle Malve
Catholic church
👍👍 To get a good look of the interior of the rock churches, which Matera is famous for, you have the option to buy a single ticket for 4 euro or a combined ticket of 3 churches for 8 euros. The two-ticket option at 7 euro makes no sense.
If you want just pick one from the three, this will be my choice....

Complesso Rupestre San Giorgio - Matera
Museum
👍👍 It was a really good experience, our guide, Valerio was really nice with us, he has high level knowledge about the “caves” and speaks english really well.
It was definitely one of the best things what we did in Matera. We had some other questions about the city itself and Valerio wasn’t tired to ans...

Ipogeo MateraSum
Archaeological museum
👍 Very interesting experience to explore the underground and soak up some of Matera's history. Audio guide is annoying IMO, do yourself a favour and just read the sign boards, they are plentiful and cover most of what the monotonous audio guide covers, and more. The staff could not be more disinterest...

Complesso Rupestre Madonna delle Virtù e San Nicola dei Greci - Sassi
Monument
👍👍 Magnificent place, unique, as UNICA Matera is. On the site you can visit the exhibition of # salvadordalí #lapersistenzadegliopposti which, given the large turnout, has been extended for another year. If you are in Matera or are planning to go there, visiting the exhibition is an experience that le...

Centro Visite Jazzo Gattini
Visitor center
👍👍 The longest inhabited city in the world! Over 8ooo years old! Can you imagine! If you want to see and hear the real story go to Centro Visite Jazzo Gattini and speak with Paolo and watch his films. The store is full of delicious delights. We ate after walking through the ruins at the vistor cente...

Chiesa di Santa Lucia e Agata alla Fontana
Catholic church
👍👍 El nombre de esta iglesia que incluye el término "alla fontana", alude a la cercanía de la fuente Ferdinandea, y la importancia que tenía la misma en su época. La iglesia es muy simple, tanto en el tratamiento de su fachada como en su interior, muy austero. Igual, vale la pena visitarla, sobre todo...

Chiesa Rupestre di San Nicola all'Ofra
Historical place
👍👍 Amazing place to visit in Matera. About a 45 minute walk from Sassi Caveoso. Google maps didn't direct us there perfectly so posting photos to help. There were a lot of painted rocks and light posts along the way with a green and yellow stripe on them. When you get close to the end you will see one...

Parco Scultura La Palomba
Sculpture museum
👍👍 I had no idea it was there or that it existed. I have never seen a more stunning sculpture park. Most such things would place a bunch of sculptures in a garden - it might be a beautiful garden and there might be beautiful sculptures, but what is the relationship between the two? Here, it's hard to...

Cripta di Santa Maria della Palomba
Shrine
👍👍 This church seems to be a time capsule. The farther you venture into the chapel and adjoining rooms the farther back in time you seem to travel. The murals and architecture are just a small part of the beauty. It feels like a setting from a Dan Brown story
We spent a bout 45 mins but more time is ne...
