Would you like to visit the real places where "The
Passion of the
Christ" was shot?
“Certain sections of the city are 2,000 years old,
and the architecture, the blocks of stone, the surrounding areas and
rocky terrain added a vista and backdrop that we [used] to create the
backdrops for our lavish sets of Jerusalem. We relied heavily on the
look that was there. In fact, the first time I saw it, I just went
crazy, because it was so perfect.”
(Mel Gibson, New York Daily News)
This is the way Mel Gibson, director of the famous and
controversial
“The
passion of the Christ”, describes Matera as he finishes to shoot his
movie.
Mel Gibson chose to shoot his movie in November because of the
particular nuances of the light on the soft rocks of the Sassi in this
month of the year.

discover the actual locations of movie's most important scenes, such as
the way of the cross' stairway, The
