The city is one of the oldest continuously inhabited ones in the world, with a history dating back over 9,000 years, famous for its Sassi districts, which are ancient cave dwellings carved directly into the limestone cliffs divided into two main areas: Sasso Caveoso and Sasso Barisano. These neighborhoods are made up of cave houses, ancient cisterns, winding alleys, and staircases that create a labyrinth-like structure. Originally inhabited by prehistoric settlers, these caves were transformed over centuries into homes, churches, and monasteries. Today, the Sassi di Matera are a UNESCO World Heritage site, symbolizing a remarkable blend of natural landscape and human ingenuity.
