Parks & Nature

If you come in spring and Autumn, it's a good idea to go to Iazzo Gattini and ask for a guide tour around this park. Some hiking tours are 2/3 hours long but they're worth it. This park is full of rock churches decorated with interesting frescoes of Byzantine culture. From the park you can enjoy stunning panorama of the whole Sassi area which is on the other side of the canyon. There are also remains of a primitive burial, and some traces of ancient Neolithic village. (In summer I recommend it in the early morning or late afternoon because it's too hot and there aren't any trees)

Sightseeing

The complex method for water supply is the uniqueness of this system that has contributed to the proclamation of Sassi as UNESCO World Heritage Site. The Palombaro is a big cistern where you can see how the Sassi of Matera stored water for centuries. It's a peculiar place!
