Matera: the city of caves and sassi

The ancient Matera is a city in the region of Basilicata, in Southern Italy, only 2 hours from Sapri and Hotel Mediterraneo. Famous for its historical centre "Sassi", Matera is the Italian host of European Capital of Culture for 2019.

What to do: Matera has gained international fame for its ancient town, the "Sassi di Matera". The Sassi are habitations dug into the calcareous rock itself, which is characteristic of Basilicata and Apulia. Many of them are really little more than small caverns, and in some parts of the Sassi a street lies on top of another group of dwellings. Matera preserves a large and diverse collection of buildings church like as the Cathedral, the San Pietro Caveoso and San Pietro Barisano, both recently restored. Other sights: the Tramontano Castle by Count of Matera and the Palazzo dell'Annunziata historical seat of Provincial Library.
 
The best way to explore Matera is on foot, roaming through the labyrinth of narrow alleyways, up and down uneven stone staircases, discovering dead ends and tiny courtyards adorned with flower pots, cave churches and expansive views of the sassi.

Don't miss the opportunity to discover this historical Italian city and the nearst Cilento coast.
