The Sassi (cave) district of Matera
The town of Matera is perched on the edge of a deep ravine
It is divided into a bustling upper district and the quieter lower Sassi district
The people of Matera used to live in these cave dwellings![Peasants took over the caves in the 15th century[Matera - Italy]](../../../_data/i/galleries/Italy/Matera/matera_italy0324-2s.jpg)
Peasants took over the caves in the 15th century[Matera - Italy]
By the 18th century some of these caves had evolved into fairly grand mansions and convents
Inhabitants were then forcibly rehoused
Today the streets and steps of Sassi lie empty and silent
