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.
Sassi di Matera
When we talk about the Sassi, we are referring to the historical part of Matera, divided into three main areas: the Sasso Barisano to the North-West, the Sasso Caveoso to the South and the Civita in the center that separates them.
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.
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.
This church is located in the heart of the Sassi, right in the Sasso Caveoso. On the baroque façade there are three niches, inside which there are the statues of St. Paul on the right, St. Peter on the left and in the center the Madonna della Misericordia.
Chiesa del Purgatorio
The Church of Purgatory was built in Baroque style and is dedicated to the deceased and deals with the theme of death and the redemption of souls.
