Pass By: Sassi di Matera, Piazza Vittorio Veneto, 75100, Matera Italy
The tour goes around the Caveoso District of the Sassi of Matera. During the tour, it’s possible to visit one cave dwelling and one church. At the end of the tour, you can visit the part of the historical center with Baroque churches.
Approach Matera from virtually any direction and your first glimpse of its famous Sassi is sure to stay in your memory forever. Haunting and beautiful, the Sassi sprawl below the rim of a yawning ravine like a giant nativity scene. The old town is simply unique and warrants at least a day of exploration and aimless wandering.
Although many buildings are crumbling and abandoned, others have been restored and transformed into cozy abodes, restaurants, and swish cave-hotels. On the cliff top, a new town is a lively place, with its elegant churches, palazzi and especially the pedestrianized Piazza Vittorio Veneto.
