Matera is that iconic ancient city in Basilicata in Italy where people have been living in caves for over 12,000 years. Like people were living in those caves before Rome was even a thought. It’s so incredibly beautiful and one of those places in Italy that where you just won’t find anywhere else in the country that looks like it no matter how hard you look. Oh, and when you visit you can stay in these caves too so make sure you do! #matera #italy #basilicata #sassidimatera
