Overview
Enjoy a licensed guided tour of the Rock Churches Park: it's an easy walk on the Murgia plateau, within the 'Natural Historical Archaeological Park of the Rock Churches', and is led by an experienced licensed local guide. It will be possible to explore the naturalistic and geological aspects of the park, by walking on the edge of the deep 'ravine. Over 150 rock-carved places of worship, called rupestrian churches, give the Murgia plateau a spiritual atmosphere since the early Middle Ages. The deep canyon's stunning landscape acquires a new meaning as a place of the soul, besides being a scene of visible traces of agro-pastoral activities, dating back to the Neolithic period. Visit rock churches such as "Madonna delle Tre Porte". You have the chance to listen to an exiciting and cultural storytelling of the ancient time and hidden city and to observe the Sassi area walking on movie locations. This tour is for small groups of up to 15 persons and the duration is approximately 2 hours.

Chiesa Rupestre di Madonna delle Tre PorteDespite the church's rather rustic entrance, the interior is well decorated with frescoes and multiple crosses scratched into the walls. However, gaps in the masonry are the result of German archaeologist Rudolf Kubesh removing more valuable frescoes from the church in the 1960s.
