Overview

Teresa is a very good Guide, exhaustive, professional, able to take you anywhere, in search of the most suggestive places of the Sassi of Matera.
They say about you:
A super recommended DA tour accompanied by an excellent, prepared, nice and pleasant Guide, Teresa. He showed us the stones of Matera explaining everything in detail giving us an afternoon full of emotions ... We will always carry Matera in our hearts
Thank you.

We carried out the Guided Tour with Teresa who proved to be an attentive and engaging guide. The anecdotes related to his family then to life lived among the stones were very interesting and embellished the historical news. The walk was really pleasant and the hours flew by. Highly recommend this tour to everyone in beautiful Matera

Very satisfied! Our Guide, Teresa, led us through the city, including the Sassi, with absolute competence, courtesy and passion. Thank you!

    Casa grotta del Casalnuovo

    The Casa Grotta is the typical house of the Sassi built partially by digging into the rock and partially built. In the Casa Grotta del Casalnuovo you can experience a real house of the Sassi through its original furniture and the tools of daily use that the family that lived there used in everyday life until 1958.It is a real ethnographic collection, a small museum with objects of common use and work from the times when the Sassi were inhabited, before the depopulation that occurred in the fifties. Inside, the original rooms and furnishings of the house are reconstructed before the ancient districts were depopulated in the late 1950s.

    Chiesa Rupestre di San Giuliano o Madonna Delle Grazie

    The church of the Madonna delle Grazie is located in Via del Sasso Caveoso. The church, still open to the public, was formerly named after St. Eustace, as can be seen from the pastoral visit of Msgr. Saracen in 1543 - 1544. The entrance consists DA a bell tower.Behind the altar we find a rock wall with several openings that lead to the sacristy; once there was the chancel. In the ceiling there are two carved domes and visible apse arches. On the right wall there is a Crucifixion, now ruined, under which there is a faded fresco.The figure of Christ is accompanied DA two angels and at the foot of it are: the Mother and John. On another wall is represented St. Francis of Assisi receiving the stigmata.In the ceiling area behind the altar, coffered panels with ornamental motifs are depicted. The corresponding wall, however, shows a painting of Saint Lucia.
