Crypt of the Original Sin and Lucanian Tasting Experience


Depart from Matera in a comfortable air-conditioned minivan and journey through the scenic countryside to one of the region’s most remarkable cultural treasures, the Crypt of the Original Sin. Located just a short distance from the city, this extraordinary rock-hewn sanctuary offers a fascinating glimpse into the artistic and spiritual heritage of southern Italy.


With an included entrance ticket and audio guide, explore the crypt at your own pace while discovering its remarkable 8th-century frescoes. Often referred to as the “Sistine Chapel of Rock Art,” the site is renowned for its vivid biblical scenes, including the famous depiction of Adam and Eve that inspired its name. The intricate artwork and sacred atmosphere make this a truly unforgettable cultural experience.


Following your visit, continue to the charming countryside setting of La Masseria Dragone, where you can relax and savor the authentic flavors of Basilicata. Enjoy a tasting of traditional Lucanian specialties, including local cheeses, cured meats, and homemade delicacies, carefully paired with a glass of regional wine.


Surrounded by peaceful rural landscapes, this experience perfectly combines history, culture, and gastronomy.
