    Scenes from Hollywood star Mel Gipson's film "The Passion of the Christ" were filmed in this sloping area of Matera.

    Other scenes were filmed in the winding alleys of Matera or at the cave dwellings across the Gravina River gorge. You can still see the crossbars, see picture.

      Matera is an Italian city in the Basilicata region, the capital of the province of the same name. It lies on the edge of the Murgia plateau. Its surroundings are home to the most important caveman settlements in the Mediterranean region. Since 1993, the "Sassi di Matera" (Stones of Matera), the oldest part of the city, have been a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
