Descend into the enchanting labyrinth of Palombaro Lungo, an immense underground cistern that once stored Matera’s precious water supply. Carved directly into the rock during the 19th century, its vaulted chambers and winding passageways tell a unique story of human ingenuity and survival in a city shaped by natural elements. Guided tours illuminate the dimly lit corridors, revealing evidence of hand-chiseled walls and the soft echoes of dripping water. Wear sturdy footwear for the sometimes slippery pathways and bring a light jacket for the cool atmosphere. This hidden marvel offers a fascinating glimpse into Matera’s past, making it a memorable stop for curious explorers.
