Caves Counts and Crusades of Matera
4.8
( 29 reviews )
Step into Matera on a short self-guided walk through ancient cave dwellings, winding stone alleys, and a landscape that feels carved from another era.
Highlights
Stand above a sealed underground city hidden beneath a perfectly ordinary Italian piazza
Count the skulls on a church door and learn why wealthy families paid for a higher placement
Step into a cave house where a family of eleven shared one room with their mule and chickens
Trace the ancient water system that earned Matera its UNESCO status — not the beauty, but the engineering
Visit the piazza where Pasolini filmed his Gospel because Matera looked more like Jerusalem than Jerusalem itself
