Hiking

Matera is an Italian city in the Basilicata region, the capital of the province of the same name. It lies on the edge of the Murgia plateau. In its vicinity are the most important places of residence of cavemen in the Mediterranean region. Since 1993, the "Sassi di Matera" (Stones of Matera), the oldest part of the city, are part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site. The large drinking water reservoir on the ground floor of the square is very interesting.

Hiking

The Casa Cisterna allows visitors to experience the lives of the people living in the Sassi, the cave dwellings. The system and functioning of the cistern are also demonstrated. Beneath the cave dwellings lies a large system of cisterns.
