The Sassi of Matera
The visit begins in Piazza Vittorio Veneto, a beautiful nineteenth-century square from where you will enjoy a panoramic view of the Civita and the Sasso Barisano. We will move through the narrow streets of the center admiring works of artistic and architectural importance up to the imposing belvedere of Piazza Duomo overlooking the Sasso Barisano. We will continue among the steps of the Sassi until we reach some cave churches, a typically furnished cave house and a historic cellar.

Where this sits in Matera
Matera is about 1 hr 14 min by road from Bari Karol Wojtyła Airport. A city carved into a ravine and lived in for nine thousand years, abandoned within living memory and now extraordinary again. Unlike anywhere else in Italy, and worth the detour south it takes to reach.
