20의 바실리카타가지 명소 & 주요 장소

The southern Italian city of Matera is impressive and attractive, but at the same time also mysterious and a bit rough. It looks more like a labyrinth of stone houses, steep staircases and narrow streets. The Sassi di Matera, or Stones of Matera, is full of caves that were once inhabited and were therefore a disgrace to Italy. Times have changed suddenly, and today the Sassi di Matera are the pride not only of the city, but also of the entire Basilicata region, in which Matera is located.

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. Its surroundings are home to the most important caveman settlements in the Mediterranean region. Since 1993, the "Sassi di Matera" (Stones of Matera), the oldest part of the city, have been a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

The Cathedral of Matera (Italian: Cattedrale della Madonna della Bruna e di Sant'Eustachio) is a Roman Catholic church in Matera, Italy. The cathedral of the Archdiocese of Matera-Irsina bears the title of a minor basilica. The church was built in the 13th century in the Apulian Romanesque style and stands on the highest point of the city between the two Sassi.

the hike is marked but not enough, but let's say it's very easy to orient yourself just go straight. it's a fairly open path, only a small stretch covered by trees, so when it's hot it's better to bring a hat. bring something to eat because I don't think there were any refreshment points. fantastic place with a peaceful atmosphere. the day I went, which was June, there were a few insects, but they were harmless.

After the narrow alleys and steps through the old town, the climb to the rocks is worthwhile. Even in rainy weather, the rocks are easily accessible via iron stairs. In heavy rain, every small alley becomes a rushing stream.

Dreamy Matera 👍 Old town and the caves 👍

Cathedral of San Pietro Caveoso 👍 Also worth seeing from the inside 👍

It is the Sacro Monte of Viggiano, at 1725 m above sea level, the place where the most important Marian sanctuary in the region stands, the one dedicated to the Black Madonna, queen of Viggiano, officially proclaimed "Protector" of Basilicata in 1991 by Pope John Paul II. Holiday The celebrations in honor of the Black Madonna are divided into two moments of the year: on the first Sunday of May the statue is brought, inside a shrine, from the center of Viggiano to the sanctuary of the mountain. On the first Sunday of September, the statue does the reverse route. This celebration is preceded by a procession (of the pilgrim) held on the previous Saturday.
