The Ancient Valleys And Churches Of Matera, Italy

ADVERTISEMENT

Matera is based in the Basilicata reagion of southern Italy, a little known gem with astounding beauty and history. The old town of Sassi dates back to a prehistoric troglodyte settlement with the cave dwellings till visible today among the rupestrian churches and cobbled streets.

These photos where shot earlier this year over 5 days travelling around the region.

My wife and I were fortunate to have spent several days in Matera and it is truly magnificent. The best photos, and these are exceptional, don't completely do justice to the ancient sites. I could spend weeks hers with only my camera.
