Overview

The Sassi of Matera, declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1993, are a unique place with extraordinary charm which testify to how man has lived for millennia in a fairy-tale environment.

The Sassi of Matera are connected to the modern city center through numerous alleys that create a continuous exchange between these two urban environments.

Our journey starts with a walking tour of the famous “Sassi” (historical cave dwellings).
The tour continues through the alleys and streets of the Sassi, the natural setting of several films such as 'The Passion of the Christ' by Mel Gibson and 'The Gospel According to Matthew' by Pier Paolo Pasolini.

During the tour, you will enter a real cave house, discover an ancient rock church and enjoy a breathtaking view over the Murgia plateau.
