What to expect
The hypogeum Materasum, also known as Matera Sotterranea, is a complex excavated in the tuff rock. This site can be described as a “city under the city”. Really impressive!
Palazzo dell'Annunziata
The Palazzo dell’Annunziata in Matera, located in Piazza Vittorio Veneto, is the building that currently houses the Provincial Library “Tommaso Stigliani.”
A “palombaro” is an underground structure designed to collect and store water. The “Palombaro Lungo” in Matera is located under Piazza Vittorio Veneto and was built in several phases starting in the 16th century.

The Cathedral of Maria Santissima della Bruna and Sant’Eustachio, also known as the Duomo of Matera, was completed in 1270 and stands on the Civita, the highest point of the city where the first settlement of the Sassi originated. This area was previously home to a Benedictine monastery dedicated to Sant’Eustachio, consecrated in 1082.
25 minutes
Casa Noha is located in the Civita district, a natural rock that separates the Sasso Caveoso and Sasso Barisano districts. This building, dating back to the 16th and 17th centuries, was once the home of the noble de Noha family.
Located in the middle of the Sasso Caveoso, more precisely on the rocky promontory of Monterrone and is partly dug into the rock and partly built after the collapse of the vault that occurred before the 16th century.
