Guided Tour of Italy's Sassi di Matera: Parco della Murgia Materana - Murgia Materana Park

Join your expert guide on this 3-hour guided tour of the Italian province Materana, with the first stop at the Archaeological Historical-Natural Park of the Rupestrian Churches of Matera. In the Murgia Park, there are 150 rupestrian churches, different in architecture and iconography, made mostly in the Middle Ages. These churches now represent an important evidence of human presence, in particular relation to the Benedictine monks, Lombards and Byzantines. The Murgia plateau acts as a natural backdrop to this scenario where you will walk on a paleosol of prehistoric fossil-rich rangoli that transports visitors on a journey through time and space.
