Guided tour of Matera with local products tasting

Matera, the City of Stones, «Città dei sassi», with its fascinating caves and dwellings almost looks frozen in time. The historical centre known as «il Piano», an elevated area with an amazing view over the «Sassi», represents the first settlements beyond the Sassi, therefore the ‘modern’ side of Matera with a beautiful architecture starting from the XVII century. Down to the ‘soul’ of the town, you’ll be guided through the old small paths to discover the history of an ancient civilization and how the modern society has adapted to it. Besides the little cave-houses and the rupestrian churches, there is proof of older settlements dating from the Palaeolithic and Neolithic Age in the «Murgia Materana» Park.
