Top 20 Caves 바실리카타

Murgecchia 고원 암석에 완전히 조각된 Madonna delle Vergini 암굴 교회는 중세 시대에 기원했습니다. 돌에 새겨진 파사드는 18세기 양식입니다. 단순하고 아늑한 내부는 원래의 지하 구조를 부분적으로 변경한 일부 개조의 흔적을 보여줍니다. 칠해진 응회암 제단, 성모 마리아의 형상, 19세기의 아기 예수와 함께 있는 성모 마리아 목상 조각이 보존되어 있습니다. 짧은 복도는 또 다른 작은 지하 공간으로 이어집니다. 지역 테라코타로 만든 바닥은 마졸리카 타일 줄로 장식되어 있어 흥미롭습니다. 수세기 전통에 따라 5월 마지막 일요일에 성모 마리아 축제가 이곳에서 기념됩니다.

a church in an enchanting place

one of the ancient houses of Matera

The southern Italian city of Matera is impressive and attractive, but at the same time also mysterious and a bit rough. It looks more like a labyrinth of stone houses, steep staircases and narrow streets. The Sassi di Matera, or Stones of Matera, is full of caves that were once inhabited and were therefore a disgrace to Italy. Times have changed suddenly, and today the Sassi di Matera are the pride not only of the city, but also of the entire Basilicata region, in which Matera is located.

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. In its vicinity are the most important places of residence of cavemen in the Mediterranean region. Since 1993, the "Sassi di Matera" (Stones of Matera), the oldest part of the city, are part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site. The large drinking water reservoir on the ground floor of the square is very interesting.

The Casa Cisterna allows visitors to experience the lives of the people living in the Sassi, the cave dwellings. The system and functioning of the cistern are also demonstrated. Beneath the cave dwellings lies a large system of cisterns. Further descriptions can be found at: https://www.casacisterna.it/
