Subjects : The city of matter lends itself primarily to architectural photography. The main subjects are: the districts of the Sassi in particular Sasso Barisano and Caveoso. The rock-hewn churches of Santa Maria de Idris. The cathedral that dominates the Barisan Sasso. The scenic route of the Stones and the church of St. Peter Caveoso; in particular the scenic route of the Sassi offers a breathtaking view of the Gravina. Must make a trip to Belvedere Rudder on the opposite side of the ravine where you can enjoy a unique view of the city of stones and where you can see some cave churches carved into the rock.

Best months : Would tend to favor the intermediate seasons Spring and Fall, but also the Winter season could offer excellent photo opportunities especially in the case of clear days. The Estate would be avoided only for the large caldo.Gli best times are dawn, dusk / dawn and at night. But those who appreciate the light, "hard", you'll appreciate Matera, even in daylight.
