About Basilicata
Basilicata's cave towns and rock-hewn churches were carved for shelter long before anyone worried about the weather, which is exactly why a wet day here can be the best time to go underground. In Matera, the Matera: Guided Tour of the Ancient Underground City & Cave Houses keeps you inside the Sassi and its cisterns while it rains above, and the Matera by Night: Cave House and Rock Church turns a damp evening into lamplit stone lanes and hollowed-out churches.

Frequently asked questions
Much of Basilicata's appeal is already indoors or underground. Matera's cave houses, rock churches, cisterns and underground chambers are covered spaces, so rain barely interrupts a guided walk through the Sassi. Tours run in wet weather, and the stone lanes often look better damp and lamplit, with fewer crowds than on a dry afternoon.
