An amazing walking tour discovering beautiful Matera, European capital of culture 2019.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 you can visit the part of the historical centre with Barroque 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 cosy abodes, restaurants and swish cave-hotels. On the cliff top, the new town is a lively place, with its elegant churches, palazzi and especially the pedestrianised Piazza Vittorio Veneto.
