Matera

The Memory of the Sassi

Matera, one of the oldest cities in the world, captivates with its unique beauty and historical legacy. Famous for its "Sassi", ancient cave dwellings and a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Its historic center is a maze of narrow streets and old rock-hewn houses, where every corner whispers stories of a millenary past. The Matera Cathedral, in Romanesque-Pugliese style, towers over the city with its impressive presence. Among the most iconic places are the Casa Grotta di Vico Solitario and the rock-hewn churches like Santa Maria de Idris, with their medieval frescoes.

Matera offers a unique combination of history, culture, and gastronomy. Its evocative atmosphere and unparalleled heritage make it a must-visit destination in southern Italy.
