Destination Report: Matera, Italy

Matera, one of Italy’s oldest continuously inhabited settlements, is a city located in the Basilicata region of southern Italy. Matera is best known for its ancient cave dwellings, the Sassi di Matera, which date back over 9,000 years. These prehistoric homes, carved directly into the limestone cliffs, represent one of the most remarkable examples of troglodyte architecture in the world. Once considered a symbol of extreme poverty, the Sassi were abandoned in the mid-20th century, only to be rediscovered and restored, transforming Matera into a UNESCO World Heritage Site and a vibrant cultural destination.

Geologically, Matera is built on a soft limestone plateau shaped by centuries of erosion, creating a dramatic landscape of ravines, caves, and rocky outcrops. This natural topography allowed early settlers to carve homes, churches, and even water collection systems directly into the rock, giving rise to a unique architectural identity. Byzantine, Norman, and Baroque influences can be seen throughout the city, particularly in its rupestrian (rock-hewn) churches, such as the Chiesa di Santa Maria de Idris, adorned with centuries-old frescos.

Once a hidden gem, Matera has emerged as a hub for arts, film, and gastronomy, famously serving as a backdrop for movies such as The Passion of the Christ and No Time to Die. In 2019, Matera was named the European Capital of Culture, further solidifying its reputation as a centre of creativity and tradition. Local cuisine, rich with flavours of the region, showcases rustic dishes like orecchiette pasta, peperoni cruschi (crispy dried peppers), and bread made from ancient wheat varieties.

Interested in visiting Matera? Our experiential tour to the regions of Abruzzo and Puglia do just that and includes two nights in this atmospheric town: https://www.adventures-abroad.com/tour/italy’s-abruzzo-and-puglia/XAP
