Itinerary

1
Piazza San Pietro Caveoso
Pass by
After enjoying breathtaking views and listening to the incredible and compelling story of the Sassi you will cross the most unspoiled area of the Sassi. You will also discover the less touristy corners and you will arrive in the most beautiful square of Sasso Caveoso, Piazza San Pietro, one of the most evocative panoramic points of the city.
2
Casa Cisterna Sotterranea
10min
You will visit a typically furnished cave-house museum, a unique chance to see with your own eyes the unhealthy conditions in which local people lived in the cave dwellings of the Sassi until not so long ago. This is the key to understand the most controversial part of the history of Matera, when the city was called the national shame. A visit to the museum is also an opportunity to see an ancient cistern for collecting rainwater and understand the water collection system, one of the most interesting aspects of the city, which will be explained in detail by the guides.
