About Matera

Matera is one of the world's oldest continuously inhabited settlements, and its Sassi — cave dwellings and rock-hewn churches carved directly into the limestone — are the reason it became a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Walking these alleys with a guide turns a scenic stroll into a layered history lesson, whether you join the Guided Tour of Matera's Sassi: Cave House & Rock Church or the Matera Sassi Walking Tour with Premium Guides.

Frequently asked questions

Matera's history is literally built into the rock. A good guide explains how the Sassi evolved from prehistoric cave settlements into densely inhabited districts, how Byzantine monks carved the rock churches, and why the area was abandoned and later revived.
