Matera
Matera is already beyond the regional border of Apulia, but its immediate proximity makes it a perfectly accessible and absolutely worthwhile destination. (UNESCO World Heritage Site)
As one of the oldest continuously inhabited settlements in the world, it is characterised by its impressive cave dwellings, the so-called Sassi.
The city has developed continuously since the Neolithic Age, Antiquity, the Middle Ages and the Renaissance to the present day. All these phases of development are clearly visible here.
