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.

Church of Saints Peter and Paul (San Pietro Caveoso), Matera

Highlight • Religious Site

The first building dates back to the 13th and early 14th centuries. The church was repeatedly rebuilt over the centuries. The inside is significantly larger than you would expect from the outside and is bursting with treasures (so keep it clean).

Piazza San Pietro Caveoso

Highlight • Historical Site

Beautiful and very panoramic, Piazza San Pietro Caveoso opens up unexpected horizons. Piazza Caveoso

Beautiful and very panoramic, Piazza San Pietro Caveoso opens up unexpected horizons for you
The square takes its name from the church built on the eastern edge of the famous open space.
The large square in honor of San Pietro represents a fundamental stop for those who want to visit the Sassi up close.
It is located in a strategic point and invites you to an exceptional panoramic view towards the Murgia Materana Park.
This huge area located on the southern edge of the Gravina welcomes the visitor with the majestic rock church once dedicated to the apostles Peter and Paul.
It stands on a large block of limestone overhanging a spectacular canyon.
Point of greatest interest for tourists of the Sassi and important area for visiting the rock churches of Madonna dell'Idris, the Monastery of Santa Lucia alle Malve, the Convicinio di S. Antonio, the barbaric cemetery, and the Casa Grotta.
