Our recent visit to Matera, one of the oldest towns in the world. This most unique and the prettiest little town in Basilicata region of southern Italy. It is a UNESCO site that is made up with caves and stones all over. In Matera, you will spend a lot of time in the caves. You’ll sleep in a cave, eat in a cave, drink an aperitivo in a cave, and even shop in a cave. There is no where in the world like Matera! #feastbysandra #travel #italy #matera #sassimatera #traveltheworld #beautifuldestinatio

Passeggiando nei Sassi di Matera. | Viaggio a Matera

Matera, Italy

Matera is a city on a rocky outcrop in the region of Basilicata, in southern Italy. It includes the Sassi area, a complex of cave dwellings carved into the mountainside. Evacuated in 1952 due to poor living conditions, the Sassi now houses museums like the Casa Grotta di Vico Solitario, with period furniture and artisan tools. Nearby rock churches include St. Lucia alle Malve, with 13th-century frescoes. It's one of Italy's most unique destinations and designated UNESCO World Heritage Site since
