Discover Nature and Historic Art at Murgia
With an English or Italian-speaking guide, explore the rugged terrain of Matera! Admire stunning rock formations including the famous 'Gravina di Matera' canyon, which offers panoramic views of the surrounding landscape. The canyon is over 50 meters deep and is home to a variety of wildlife, including birds of prey, foxes, and wild boars. As you hike through the park, you'll come across numerous cave dwellings and settlements, some of which date back over 9,000 years. These caves were once home to prehistoric people who carved out homes and places of worship.
Visit the Rupestrian Churches
Established in the 9th century during the Byzantine period, the Rupestrian churches are entirely carved out of soft rock! Marvel at intricate frescoes and carvings that adorn the ancient caves. The dimly-lit interiors of the caves, combined with the hauntingly beautiful artwork, create a calm and spiritual atmosphere. End your tour with glowing sunset views over Matera.
