About this activity

Embark on an exclusive private walking tour through the ancient city of Matera, a UNESCO World Heritage Site renowned for its breathtaking cave dwellings and deep historical roots. Your journey begins in the vibrant Piazza Vittorio Veneto, where your expert local guide will introduce you to the city’s unique heritage. From there, step into the Church of San Giovanni Battista, a beautiful example of Apulian Romanesque architecture. Continue underground to explore Casa Cava, a former tuff quarry that now serves as a fascinating cultural space, reflecting the city's transformation over time.

Wander through the historic Sasso Barisano district to visit the rock-hewn Church of Sant’Antonio Abate, carved directly into the stone, and then delve into traditional cave life with a stop at a Casa Grotta in the Sasso Caveoso. As you walk along the scenic Via Madonna delle Virtù, admire sweeping views from Piazza San Pietro Caveoso. The experience concludes with a look at the ornate Church of Purgatory and ends at the majestic Matera Cathedral, an architectural masterpiece that dominates the skyline and captures the soul of this unforgettable city.
