Matera by Night
Mysteries of the City
When the sun sets over the Sassi, Matera changes face: the alleys empty out, the stone warms with golden light, and stories suspended between faith and superstition come alive again.
A guide in period costume leads the group through the city's mysteries: monks, convents carved into the rock, legends of noble families, and panoramic views that stay hidden by day.
