What to expect

10m

Start your walk at Piazza Vittorio Veneto in Matera. Just open Ciceru nearby to begin exploring the plaza that casually sits on top of a hidden underground water world.
Pass by

Stand outside this rare free standing church in a city of caves, and let its Romanesque façade prove Matera can do above ground swagger too.
Chiesa rupestre di San Pietro Barisano
Pass by

Admire the elegant front that acts like a polite disguise for the vast rock carved church hiding behind it.
Cathedral Basilica of Matera
Pass by

From Piazza Duomo, look up at the tuff stone crown of the Civita, watching the Sassi below like a medieval supervisor on a high balcony.
Chiesa del Purgatorio
Pass by

Study the skulls and swirls on the exterior, Baroque beauty with the subtle charm of a deadline.
10m

Lean on the railing and take in the Sassi panorama, the view that went from “national shame” to global icon with suspicious speed.
Chiesa rupestre di Santa Lucia alle Malve
Pass by

See how the church merges into the cliff, a building that cannot decide if it is architecture or geology.
Casa Grotta di Vico Solitario
Pass by

Pause by the modest archway, the only part that is not pure cave, and imagine a whole family and a mule sharing the same address.
Pass by

Gaze up at the chapel perched on the Monterrone rock spur, a silhouette so dramatic it looks like the mountain grew its own church.
Pass by

Wrap up your tour at Chiesa dei Santi Pietro e Paolo (Caveoso). Take a moment to enjoy the canyon edge and the cliffside bravado before ending your tour.
