What To Expect
Sasso Barisano
The Sasso Barisano takes its name because of its position. Being oriented towards north-west, it takes its name from the city of Bari. Initially it represents the primary part of the stones together with the Civita.
Piazza San Pietro Caveoso
The square of San Pietro Caveoso, with a rectangular plan, has a beautiful view of the ravine highlighted by an arch on the left of the homonymous church. A view that offers a particular glimpse of the opposite Murgia with its rock churches and on the right the ridge with the 'empty eye sockets', natural cavities adapted, in ancient times, to pastoral needs.

5.00Alessio Loreti from Latina Very interesting experience. The guide Pasquale Marchetti proved to be a competent person; interesting his historical/political stories that allow you to better understand the evolution of this city full of culture and history. The City Tour was pleasant and the tour guide equally friendly and sociable. Thank you Pasquale
