Province of Matera, Administrative province in Basilicata, Italy
The Province of Matera spans 3,447 square kilometers in southeastern Italy, featuring mountainous regions, hills, and a coastline along the Ionian Sea.
Settlement in the province dates to the Palaeolithic era, with organized establishment beginning in 251 BCE under Roman consul Lucius Caecilius Metellus.
The region maintains traditional practices through local festivals, with the Feast of Madonna della Bruna celebrated on July 2 in the capital city.
The province connects to major Italian destinations through Bari train station and Ferrovie Appulo Lucane line, with Bari Karol Wojtyla Airport 64 kilometers away.
The province contains Craco, an entire town abandoned due to natural disasters, which now functions as a filming location for movies.
