The inside story
Carved into the hard limestone cliffs of southern Italy, Sassi di Matera is one of the world’s oldest continuously inhabited settlements.
This ancient network of cave dwellings, rock churches and winding alleyways has been continuously inhabited for thousands of years, blending striking landscapes and authentic traditions that feel like a rustic Italian folktale. Overlooking a huge ravine, the Sassi reveals layer upon layer of history, with stone homes, hidden staircases and terraces chiselled straight into natural rock. Recognised as a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1993, it remains one of Italy’s most iconic destinations.
