Matera Pass

Wandering the Sassi di Matera, whose hillside dwellings were dug out from the rock itself, you could mistake it for the sites around Jerusalem – in fact, it was used for filming in The Passion of the Christ. The Matera Pass gives you the chance to learn more about the rich history of the region. Discover dinosaur exhibits at the Racconti in Pietra, see a typical cave house lived in by rural Italians, and visit the Chiesa Rupestre di Sant'Antonio Abate at Sasso Barisano.
