On this journey you’ll explore Matera, known as the ‘City of Rock Churches’, located impressively atop the Murgia Hills. Its ancient city centre, nestled inside a steep gorge, is southern Italy’s first UNESCO World Heritage site, having housed residents in its unique cave-dwellings from the prehistoric era up until 1952, within two remarkable areas called Sassi. Conversely, Altamura stands high on the Murgia Hills, inside a national park. It boasts a captivating old town complete with a grand cathedral dating back to the Middle Ages.
