Casa Noha: A Multimedia Journey Through Matera's History

Casa Noha, a property of the Fondo Ambiente Italiano (FAI), serves as a gateway to understanding the captivating city of Matera. Housed in a beautifully restored 15th-century noble house, Casa Noha was once the residence of the Noha family. The FAI acquired the house in 2004 and transformed it into a unique museum space. Casa Noha offers visitors a 30-minute multimedia journey through Matera's history, projecting a film called 'The Invisible Sassi: Extraordinary Journey through the History of Matera' onto the walls, ceilings, and floors of the rooms. This innovative presentation explores the city's architecture, art history, archeology, and even its cinematic connections. Visitors can discover the lives of the people who inhabited the Sassi cave dwellings and gain insights into the traditions and struggles of the local population. The experience includes audio guides in multiple languages, making it accessible for international visitors. Strategically located near the Duomo in the Civita district, Casa Noha is an ideal starting point for exploring the Sassi and the surrounding areas. It provides a valuable perspective that enhances the experience of wandering through Matera's ancient streets and understanding its rich cultural heritage.
