A
Sasso Barisano
This is the larger of the two sassi districts, and many of the cave dwellings have been restored and converted into cosy houses, shops and restaurants. For interesting souvenirs, traditional whistles (cuccu) and ceramics visit the craft shops along Via Fiorentini. Continue on to Via Madonna delle Virtù for a panoramic view of the ravine and the caves dotting the opposite hillside.

B
Sasso Caveoso
Considered to be the older and wilder quarter which grew around Piazza San Pietro Caveoso, Sasso Caveoso is more evocative of what life must have been like in a cave city.
