The view of the Sasso Barisano in Matera.
This city in Basilicata certainly has a unique, almost magical charm.
This is the view of the Sasso Barisano (one of the Matera districts) that can be enjoyed from the Belvedere Luigi Guerricchio and in the background the Basilica Pontificia Cattedrale di Maria Santissima della Bruna e Sant’Eustachio, the city's cathedral.

I took a lot of photos in the streets of the town, click here to see them all:
The Sasso Barisano, facing northwest on the edge of the cliff, if we take the Civita, the hub of the old city, as a reference, is the richest in sculpted portals and friezes that hide its underground heart. The Sasso Caveoso, which instead faces south, located in a wider and shorter blade, vaguely takes on the shape of a theater cavea. In the center is the Civita, a rocky spur that separates the two Sassi, on whose summit are the Cathedral and the noble palaces. Together they form the ancient urban nucleus of Matera, declared a cultural landscape by UNESCO.
