What to expect
Parco della Murgia Materana
Since 2007, the Regional Park of the Rupestrian Churches of Matera has also been declared a World Heritage Site. It is a large rocky hilly area marked by deep karst fissures called: "Gravine". The show that appears before the eyes is truly breathtaking, since the whole inhabited area of the Sassi appears in all its splendor beyond the ravine. During this historical-naturalistic walk, the visitor will be able to follow the path of man: from the Palaeolithic settlements to the entrenched Neolithic villages of "Murgia Timone", from the pastoral communities of the Middle Ages to the rock settlements of the Greek-Byzantine hermitic communities that plateau they founded monasteries, graduations and Rock Churches. Along the route of this guided trek you reach the bottom of the valley of the Gravina torrent.
