Matera: a walk through the city of Sassi (rock stones)

Matera is famous for its Sassi dug into the rock nine thousand years ago, a unique heritage in the world, which is why it is included among the monumental World Heritage sites by UNESCO. For the same reason, Matera was named European Capital of Culture in the year 2019.

  • During our tour we will cross the impervious alleys of Matera, overlooked by the Sassi, ancient houses set in the rock, going then back to an ancestral time
  • We will visit the rock churches of San Pietro Barisano and Santa Lucia alle Malve, both built inside rock caves and decorated with medieval frescoes
  • We will then go along the city ramparts for an invigorating panoramic walk
