Why visit James Bond filming locations in Matera

 

Matera wasn’t just a backdrop—it was a central character in the film. With its timeless charm and maze of rock-cut streets, the city created a one-of-a-kind setting for the movie’s intense opening. This guided tour of James Bond filming locations is ideal for film lovers and curious travelers alike, offering a mix of behind-the-scenes insights and cultural discovery.

 

From the old town to the Cathedral: where the story starts

 

Your adventure through the James Bond filming locations of Matera begins in the city’s historic center. Wander through narrow alleys to the Church of San Francesco d’Assisi, then head to the majestic Cathedral. Here, you’ll stand where Bond’s iconic motorcycle leap was filmed, framed by the panoramic views of the Sassi district.

 

Sasso Barisano and the unforgettable car chase

 

From a panoramic viewpoint over Sasso Barisano, your guide will walk you through the filming of one of Bond’s wildest car chases. With narrow staircases, sharp turns, and clouds of dust, it’s no surprise this scene became one of the most talked-about James Bond filming locations in Matera.

 

Via Muro to Sasso Caveoso: retracing Bond’s steps

 

Continue your walk along Via Muro, where Bond strolled with Madeleine in a quieter moment of the film. The route leads down to Sasso Caveoso, passing the residence where actor Daniel Craig stayed during filming. This stretch adds a personal touch to the James Bond filming locations experience in Matera.

 

Piazza San Pietro Caveoso and the drifting sequence

 

In Piazza San Pietro Caveoso, you’ll stand in the exact spot where Bond performed his jaw-dropping car drift. Your guide will reveal how the scene was pulled off and how Matera became the pulse-pounding set for this unforgettable stunt.

 

The Lombard cemetery and Rock Church Park

 

Climb to the ancient Lombard cemetery to take in sweeping views of the Rock Church Park—home to the recreated cemetery used in the film’s emotional final scenes. It’s one of the most atmospheric James Bond filming locations in Matera, blending cinematic drama with natural beauty.

 

Ending your journey: history meets cinema

 

The tour ends back in the city center, where your guide will share more stories from the film and local history. It’s a perfect closing chapter to your exploration of Matera and its legendary connection to the world of 007—and one of the most iconic James Bond filming locations in Italy.
