Beautiful Puglia, Italy
From the opposite hilltop the Old Town of Matera looks incredibly mighty. The Gravina di Matera canyon which lies between the two karst mountains makes the area look even more dramatic. Matera is probably one of the oldest cities in the world and is primarily famous for its prehistoric settlement called ‘Sassi di Matera’ (‘stones of Matera’). They lie on the steep rocky slopes towards the canyon.
