Matera is an extraordinary town which still bears the unique signs of history and prehistory: the ages of the different urban settlements of the “Sassi” are visible in the architectural styles and the town planning solutions harmonized without a break in a unique environment which in 1993 was recognised as a UNESCO heritage site.
