Destacados
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 the European Capital of Culture in the year 2019. We will discover how the inhabitants of Matera were able to live for millennia in those narrow tuff tunnels. Yes, for millennia, until the mid-1950s. 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. From the bastions of Matera, we will observe both the Sassi and the surrounding countryside and we will launch into our best photographic shots to capture this magical atmosphere. Our local guides will involve you like never before, with mysteries and details of a still authentic city. A tour worth trying: you will be left breathless by Matera!

About Matera
Matera is a southern Italian city of ancient cave dwellings carved into a ravine, a UNESCO-listed maze of stone houses, rock churches and stepped lanes.
Matera, in the Basilicata region of southern Italy, is built above a deep ravine, and its old districts, the Sassi, are cave houses and stone buildings stacked down the cliff. People have lived here since prehistory, and until the 1950s many families still occupied the caves, before they were moved to new housing. The Sassi were listed by UNESCO in 1993, and the cathedral crowns the rock between the two districts, Sasso Barisano and Sasso Caveoso.
