Matera Italy

Matera is the capital of the Matera province in the Basilicata region of Italy. It's home to the sassi, well-preserved rock-cut settlements that are a World Heritage site and one of Southern Italy's many significant attractions. The town centre, the oldest part of town, was built on the edge of a bare plateau where a high rocky mount towers over the spot where a valley descends to the long deep river-ravine. This is where you'll now find the town cathedral and the fairly typical Italian town centre. The town's main historical museum, the Museo Nazionale Ridola, contains exhibits from distant eras of Basilicata's past, from prehistory to the Roman age (closed Monday mornings; a small entrance fee). Nearby, Palazzo Lanfranchi houses the Museo Nazionale d'Arte Medievale e Moderna della Regione Basilicata - an art museum incorporating the Pinacoteca D'Errico, which has lots of religious paintings by southern painters and, more interestingly, the Centro Carlo Levi, which contains a range of paintings by the twentieth-century artist and writer who is a part of this region's modern history.
