We invite you to an exciting walking journey through the streets of Matera, an unsurpassed town with characteristic stone houses listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Start your route from the majestic Ferdinand Fountain, which impresses with its architectural simplicity and history. Continue on your way to the Annunziata Palace, where the history of the Maltese is intertwined with the architecture of the Renaissance era. Walking through the narrow streets, you will come across La Grotta nei Sassi — a unique complex of caves showing the life of local people in the past. The next stop on your trip is the Church of San Giovanni Batista, which impresses with the luxury of its baroque details. Do not miss the opportunity to visit the Museum-Workshop of Peasant Culture, where you can learn about the traditions and customs of this region. Do not forget to visit the Cathedral of the Mother, which offers breathtaking views of the city. Immerse yourself in the atmosphere of contemporary art at the Museum of Modern Sculpture (MUSMA), located in one of the cave complexes. The road leads you to the picturesque Belvedere Piazza Pascoli, where we recommend you stay to take memorable photos against the background of ancient Sassy. Finish your route at Trattoria del Caveoso, where you will taste traditional dishes and experience the true taste of Italian cuisine. Matera is waiting for you — a city that combines ancient history, modern artistic currents and a unique atmosphere!
