Lago di San Giuliano, Matera
Basilicata
Lago di San Giuliano (10 km from Matera) is a WWF oasis — a reservoir with greater flamingo year-round since 2016, glossy ibis breeding and an osprey that fishes regularly. The lake is visible from the Matera sassi ridge on the horizon — an extraordinary juxtaposition of prehistoric cave city and flamingo wetland. Black stork passes in migration. Dogs on leash in the oasis.
