The Chapel of the Annunciation is very precious, with several sculptures, among which a beautiful Pieta in the upper part. It is dedicated to Santa Maria della Brunna, whose Byzantine icon it has. And formerly there was in its place the church of San Eustaquio, patron saint of the city, and the ceiling is full of frescoes with scenes from her life.

This boutique Museum is one of the best I have experienced on my travels... ever! Preserved by the family of this Spanish artist who was in exile, and now overseen by an independant body, the small but incredible body of his works remain hanging in his house of 5 years. His relief works in terracota base with papiermache built up, sculptural layers are dynamic and colourful, powerfully portraying the Spanish torments of the time... knowing he was inspired by Matera to produce these artworks here is one thing... then seeing contemporary artists inspired by him making pieces and installations for this museum today is powerful. A rug, sculpture, leadlight windows, ceramic tiled ceilings in , what was the Dining and Bedrooms had my mouth wide open... the kitchen and bathroom renovations/installations are a sensory overload but so incredibly beautiful... textural, colourful and insightful. Even the terracotta light shades on the artwork spotlights impressed me. A beautiful charming attendant also gave a short but informative insight to the home and afterwards showed us onto the terrace with really wonderful views of the Matera gorge adjacent. Not what you would expect here but if you are into contemporary art, please pay a visit.
