Salandra (Lucano: ; ) is a town and comune in the province of Matera, in the Southern Italian region of Basilicata.
==Geography== The town is located in northwestern Matera. Its downtown is centered on a hill (elev. 598 m) that dominates the valley of the river Salandrella, which is also the upper branch of the river Cavone. The slope facing the stream valley is covered in overhangs and distinctive clay gullies; the opposite slope, which faces the river Gruso, is covered in olive groves, orchards, and over 1000 hectares of oak woods.
