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.

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.

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.
Truly such a beautiful place that I could not imagine.
These houses, built one on top of the other, are nothing more than the external part of real caves dug into the mountain.
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.

In fact, in the caves scattered along the Gravine materane several objects dating back to that era have been found, testifying to the presence of groups of hunters.
