There’s a timeline that ideally connects the 31 municipalities of the Province of Matera, a temporal journey that begins in prehistory and leads to the present day.
It’s a key that unlocks the doors to an undiscovered Basilicata and a novel way of narrating it. Tracing this line, prehistoric tools narrate mankind’s evolution in these once wild lands, while the monuments and architectures that have survived time bear witness to the grandeur of Magna Graecia and the Roman Empire. Meanwhile, castles and fortifications from the Norman-Byzantine era guide us from the Middle Ages to the Modern Age and the initial urban developments of the area, shaping the face of the 31 municipalities we know today. The timeline is a road to follow. A boundary to cross.
