Matera is a picturesque Italian city that is filled with ancient cave dwellings which are remarkably well-preserved. These rock-cut settlements, known as the Sassi, are perched on the edge of a canyon overlooking the Murgia Materana Park (Parco della Murgia Materana<\/em>).<\/p>\n
The Park is filled with amazing things to see, including the spectacular Belvedere Murgia Timone overlook and 100+ ancient Rupestrian churches. These rock churches are carved into the hillside and provide a fascinating look at life during the Early Middle Ages.<\/p>\n
The Sassi of Matera and Park of Rupestrian Churches (Parco delle Chiese Rupestri di Matera<\/em>) are so incredible, in fact, that they were designated as a UNESCO Heritage site in 1993.<\/p>\n
