Where we are watching Matera
The map locates Sasso Barisano and several landmarks in the historic centre to help interpret the live view.
Matera live: Sasso Barisano
The camera focuses on Sasso Barisano, the part of the Sassi characterised by built façades standing in front of rock-cut interiors. The live view helps reveal how the buildings are arranged on the slope and how daylight changes the colour and texture of the stone throughout the day.
It is useful both for visitors who want to get to know Matera before arriving and for anyone wishing to check brightness, cloud cover and the atmosphere of the historic centre at that moment.

Discovering Matera through webcams
History, landscape and landmarks that help interpret what appears in the live images.
History and local identity
Matera grew around the Sassi, neighbourhoods carved and built into calcarenite rock where homes, cisterns, rock churches and passageways follow the shape of the land. Restoration begun after 20th-century depopulation transformed the area into an internationally recognised example of historic-heritage regeneration.
