Sasso Caveoso

Matera, Province of Matera, Italy, Italy

Sasso Caveoso is one of the two ancient districts that make up the famous Sassi of Matera, a UNESCO World Heritage Site in southern Italy.

Known for its cave dwellings carved directly into the limestone rock, it preserves the traditional appearance of Matera more than almost any other part of the city and offers a remarkable glimpse into a way of life that dates back thousands of years. The district is characterized by houses, churches, cisterns, and narrow streets built into and above the rocky landscape surrounding the Gravina canyon.

Notable landmarks include the Church of San Pietro Caveoso and several rock-hewn churches decorated with medieval frescoes. Today, Sasso Caveoso is one of Matera’s most iconic attractions, admired for its unique architecture, dramatic scenery, and extraordinary history as one of the world’s oldest continuously inhabited urban areas.
