If you have the opportunity to stretch out a bit and visit the Sassi of Matera, they will offer you a great cultural landscape that has made them one of the most suggestive and fascinating UNESCO sites. It is a series of elements stratified over time, from the cave complexes excavated by man, to the rock churches, burial areas, which alternate continuously with buildings of all the different eras of the last millennium, the Middle Ages, the Renaissance, the Baroque up to modern era. Caves, hypogea, palaces, churches, neighborhoods, stairways, balconies, gardens and orchards will all be found in one another to form a unique and magical place.

Walking along the main axis that connects the two Sassi districts via Bruno Buozzi, via Madonna delle Virtù and via D’Addozio you can cross this landscape and admire at the same time that of the opposite side of the Murgia Materana. It is possible to go up and down the numerous alleys that alternate between the buildings and find themselves in always different and surprising corners. Do not miss a visit to the Cathedral, to the church of San Francesco di Assisi, to the two civil architecture of Palazzo Dell'Annunziata and Palazzo Lanfranchi and to the military ones such as Castello Tramontano and Torre Metellana. The rock churches are particularly interesting, witnesses of man's evolutionary transition from prehistory to Christianity.

The most important are:
- Santa Maria de Idris
- San Giovanni in Monterrone
- Saint Lucia alle Malve
- San Pietro Barisano
- Madonna delle Virtù and San Nicola dei Greci
