The Sassi of Matera in Basilicata.
How much history you can breathe when you arrive in the narrow streets of the City of Sassi, Matera.
I was able to visit it thanks to the cruise excursion I took with my girlfriend a few weeks ago.

This is the view you can enjoy from one of the most famous terraces: the Belvedere Luigi Guerricchio from which you can see the Sasso Barisano.
