I'm lost for words. Hammer. When we were on the return flight from a vacation a few years ago, I noticed a photo in the booklet: Sassi die Matera. I already had my next travel destination. This is the second time we've been there and it's still amazing. Just come by yourself and be amazed.
The Sassi of Matera are a complex of dwellings carved into the limestone rock, a unique urban landscape that bears witness to a thousand-year history. Divided into Sasso Caveoso and Sasso Barisano, these ancient districts offer a breathtaking spectacle with their cave dwellings, rock-hewn churches, and a labyrinth of alleys and stairways. A UNESCO World Heritage Site, the Sassi are today a fascinating place not to be missed!
