Full Description
Discover the centuries-old charm of the Sassi districts on a guided day tour, exploring Matera’s iconic cave dwellings and its two famous areas, Sasso Barisano and Sasso Caveoso. Your adventure begins at Via Alessandro Volta, where you’ll meet your guide and set off toward the beautiful Church of San Francesco, located in the heart of the historic center.
From there, wander through a maze of scenic lanes and narrow stone pathways that open onto impressive viewpoints. Your next stop is the Rupestrian Church of Sant’Antonio Abate, where you’ll step inside to uncover a fascinating glimpse of the city’s ancient cultural traditions.
Continue your journey with a visit to a typical cave-house—an authentic example of how locals once lived within these rock-carved spaces. Finally, follow your guide along Via Madonna delle Virtù toward Porta Pistoia (Pert P’stèl), where your immersive cultural experience in Matera comes to a close.
