About Basilicata
Basilicata's museums rarely sit behind velvet ropes — they are carved into tufa, housed in abandoned hill towns, or kept alive by artisans still working the same stone their grandparents did. In Matera, the Matera: Guided Tour of the Ancient Underground City & Cave Houses walks you through rock-hewn dwellings that function as a living museum, while the Matera: Tufa Stone Carving Workshop with a Local Craftsman turns the region's oldest material into something you make with your own hands. Beyond the Sassi, places like Craco and Policoro add layers of medieval history and Magna Graecia

Frequently asked questions
Costs vary by format. Small local museums and civic collections generally charge modest entry fees, while guided experiences such as the Matera underground city tour, the tufa carving workshop or the Craco ghost town day trip sit in the mid-range to premium bracket because they include a guide, transport or materials.
