Basilicata In Italy

Southern Italy is a great place to visit if you’re in search of cultural immersion. The region plays host to the breathtaking Matera Cave Dwellings, located on a rocky outcrop in Basilicata. For many centuries, nobody had even heard of this place, until a book revealing its location was published. The area is well known for its widespread poverty, now somewhat rejuvenated thanks to the tourism industry and government reform initiatives. This underground city is most fascinating because of its cave dwellings, where inhabitants literally build their houses by carving limestones and forming cave after cave.
