The Sassi di Matera

The Sassi di Matera, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is a unique urban complex, carved in tuff and divided into two main districts: Sasso Caveoso and Sasso Barisano. The Sasso Barisano, the largest and restored, houses homes, restaurants and shops, maintaining the ancient charm. The Sasso Caveoso, on the other hand, retains a more traditional appearance, with houses still inhabited and rock churches such as that of San Pietro Caveoso. The cave houses, once the home of farmers, are now a symbol of resilience and innovation, combining history and modernity in an unparalleled landscape.
