About Basilicata

Basilicata rewards travellers who look beneath the surface: its museums and historic sites are often carved into tufa, tucked inside abandoned hill towns, or told through the hands of local artisans. The region's story comes alive on experiences like the Matera: Guided Tour of the Ancient Underground City & Cave Houses, which traces centuries of cave dwelling, and the Ghost Town Tour of Craco & Policoro Museum: History and Breathtaking Views, where a deserted medieval village meets one of the area's most important archaeological collections.

Frequently asked questions

Basilicata's heritage is lived rather than displayed. You walk through Matera's ancient underground city and cave houses, stand in the abandoned streets of Craco, and handle local traditions such as tufa stone carving or papier-mache craft.
