A Community spanning 9000 years

The Sassi, a collection of 7000 BCE stone cave dwellings carved into an ancient river ravine, are today a UNESCO World Heritage site in the city of Matera. Thought to be the earliest human dwellings in Italy, some are still inhabited – how many people can claim to share a home with their ancestors from 9000 years ago? Learn the history of this community and examine ancient rock churches, houses, water-collection systems and even cellars dug in caves. Your tour includes the piazzas, alleyways and stairs of the ‘Piano’, Matera’s Renaissance center, and concludes with a tasting of typical Basilicata products.
