Belvedere Luigi Guerricchio
A lookout beside Piazzetta Pascoli in the upper town, with views over the Caveoso district and the gorge, and the easiest place to see Sassi at night.
This lookout is on the edge of the upper town, at the small Piazzetta Pascoli. Below you are the layered cave rooftops, and in the distance are the cathedral bell tower and the Murge plateau across the gorge. It is only a few minutes’ walk from Piazza Vittorio Veneto and the castle area, so it is perfect for coming up in the evening after you check in to watch the lights come on. Free entry, and there are cafés and restaurants nearby.
