Guided Tour of the Sasso Caveoso starts with a historical and architectural introduction to the Sassi before entering the Sasso Caveoso area. Walking down winding alleys of the ancient neighbourhood, you are going to visit a traditionally furnished cave dwelling - proof of how the poor inhabitants of Matera had lived until the mid-fifties, before 1953 De Gasperi's Restoration act entered in force. The tour continues with the visit of a Rupestrian church, completely carved in the rock, that holds precious iconographic traces of Greek-Italian monasticism that date back to X-XIII century. Learn about local food products, savouring some of them at the end of the tour..
