Itinerary

1. Sasso Barisano
New part of the Sassi overlooking the balcony of Sant'Agostino
2. Piazza San Pietro Caveoso
Stop to admire the beautiful landscape of the Sasso Caveoso
3. Casa grotta del Casalnuovo
The Casa Grotta is the typical house of the Sassi built partially by digging into the rock and partially built. In the Casa Grotta del Casalnuovo you can experience a real house of the Sassi through its original furniture and the tools of daily use that the family that lived there used in everyday life until 1958. It is a real ethnographic collection, a small museum with objects of common use and work from the times when the Sassi were inhabited, before the depopulation that occurred in the fifties. Inside, the original rooms and furnishings of the house are reconstructed before the ancient districts were depopulated in the late 1950s.
Duration: 20 mins
4. Chiesa Rupestre di San Giuliano o Madonna Delle Grazie
The church of the Madonna delle Grazie is located in Via del Sasso Caveoso. The church, still open to the public, was formerly named after St. Eustace, as can be seen from the pastoral visit of Msgr. Saracen in 1543 - 1544. The entrance consists DA a bell tower. Behind the altar we find a rock wall with several openings that lead to the sacristy; once there was the chancel. In the ceiling there are two carved domes and visible apse arches. On the right wall there is a Crucifixion, now ruined, under which there is a faded fresco. The figure of Christ is accompanied DA two angels and at the foot of it are: the Mother and John. On another wall is represented St. Francis of Assisi receiving the stigmata. In the ceiling area behind the altar, coffered panels with ornamental motifs are depicted. The corresponding wall, however, shows a painting of Saint Lucia.
