Absolutely...a must! Do you want to try the sensation of flying like a bird? Try it! it is a double flight, one part seems faster than the other because you are closer to the ground, so, better to try both!

This was one of the highlights of my trip. Having researched the ruins of Craco Vecchio, I knew that I needed to contact il Comune di Craco and purchase the Daily Craco card. The office opened at 10am and I paid 15€ for the full experience. It began with a brief tour of the old convent, where I was the only person visiting so Saverio ended up giving me a private tour which was incredibly informative. After that, I went to the meeting point where I found about 7 other couples just waiting. Before we set off, we were all given hard hats and began the tour. Having paid attention to Saverio's private tour, I was already in possession of the history of Craco Vecchio which allowed me to spend most of my time taking photos. The overall tour took about an hour and there were even donkeys which were remarkably friendly. (Being a city dweller, I still find the idea of random farm animals something of a novelty.) It was a wonderful way to spend the morning, only a short drive from Matera.

The Crypt of the Original Sin, in Matera, is located inside a natural cave on the Murgia plateau, near the old Appian Way. Commonly known as “the Sistine Chapel of rupestrian art”, the Crypt was discovered in 1963 by a group of local youths, who noticed the splendid frescoes in what at the time, had become a shelter for sheep herds.Experts later dated the cycle of paintings back to the second half of the 8th century, with Late-Romanesque style and formal elements of Oriental inspiration, such as the Byzantine-style Triarchsand the profile of the Virgin Mary, majestically represented in the sumptuous clothes of the Byzantine empress, the Basilissa.The anonymous, humble artist – who was soon nicknamed the “Flower Painter” – depicted biblical figures in total freedom: God the Creator, Light and Darkness, Adam and Eve, the three Apostles John, Peter and Andrew, the Archangels and Mary. The paintings on the rough walls of the cave are different and unique in Matera’s iconographic context. The scenes are the fruit of the painter’s personal creativity and certainly speak of his freedom in translating complex depictions, and of a lively spontaneity in drawing images. The Crypt of Original Sin may only be visited by booking.

The Crypt of Original Sin is a very unique place . specific to the Matera region of Italy. - Dwellings, churches- all in the carved in caves that have been inhabited since prehistoric times, through Roman times, middle ages - to now. Not to be missed by travelers to Basilicata.
