Matera Walking Tour
Explore the extraordinary city with our Matera Walking Tour. Our Evolved Guide certified local guide will tell you the history of millenary city of stones, declared European Capital of Culture 2019. Entering Matera is like entering a timeless place, with its churches and narrow streets that intertwine: you will be fascinated from its caves and houses carved out of the tuff.
Discover the history of the city, inhabited from the Paleolithic to today and retrace the history of the man who settled here. Explore Piazza Vittorio Veneto, where your guide will tell you the story of Matera’s cisterns. Here you will discover one of the two main places of Matera, the Sasso Barisano.
Walking through the streets of the city you will reach the highest point of the city and you will be able to see the Cathedral of Matera, the cathedral of the Madonna della Bruna and Sant’Eustachio, completed in 1270, an extraordinary architectural masterpiece and visible from all parts of Matera. From here you can also enjoy a splendid panorama of Gravina, the river below.
During the tour you will also see the other main place of the city: the Sasso Caveoso. Here there are different cult buildings, such as the Church of S. Pietro, the Casa Grotta and the church / cave of Santa Lucia alle Malve.
To end your day we suggest you to taste the typical Matera cuisine, a cuisine born from the peasant and pastoral tradition, made of typical and unique dishes. And don’t forget to bring home a memory of this enchanted place!
