Matera Day Trip

After meeting at the established point, we'll travel by bus to Matera, noted for its picturesque scenery. Upon arrival, we will commence a guided tour of the historic center, known to be one of the oldest in the world, with its Sassi, inhabited since the Paleolithic era.

We will explore the neighborhoods of Sasso Barisano and Sasso Caveoso, discussing Matera's evolution, including the government-mandated displacements in the '50s. We will also view significant Baroque temples, including the Church of San Francesco d'Assisi, the Church of Santa Chiara, and the Matera Cathedral, showcasing Apulian Romanesque architecture.

After a break for lunch on your own, participants may access some rock churches of Matera not included in the tour, such as the Church of Santa Maria di Idris, the Church of Santa Lucia alle Malve, or the Church of San Pietro Barisano.
