Matera, Italy has it all. We’re talkin’ ancient cave houses, stone-carved churches, Byzantine frescoes and everything that screams Southern Italy. Holding the title for one of the world’s oldest inhabited cities, there’s a lot to love about this cosy Basilicatan village from its palaeolithic treasures to its unique temples. It’s not lacking on the visuals, either. Best of all, this ancient Italian town is built high atop a hill overlooking Gravina River and the surrounding canyonland.
