What you can expect

  • This consists of a walking tour of the Sassi district, starting from an arch-shaped fountain in the main square of the historic center. Enjoy panoramic views of the Sasso Barisano.

    We continue through the historical center until we reach Piazza Duomo, where it will be possible to view the exterior of the Cathedral and then move on to the Sasso Caveoso, the city's oldest and most famous district.

    From here there will be a visit to the furnished house of the peasant civilization, a rupestrian church, and Santa Maria de Idris where you can see some Byzantine frescoes. Make a visit to the barbarian cemetery and various neighborhoods.

    What will make the visit to the Sassi special will be your expert guide who will tell the story of one of the oldest towns in the world.
