Matera is the oldest city in the world
Description:
The first signs of human presence in these places belong to the Paleolithic, in the surrounding caves was found a human skeleton which is 250,000 years old. In the Neolithic era, the first stationary settlements began to appear in caves carved into the rocks on the slopes of the gorge. Many of these caves have survived to this day and can be visited!
Matera is an eastern city in southern Italy. And this color was acquired in the 8th century thanks to the huge number of Christians who arrived from Malaysian Byzantium during the iconoclastic persecution. This southern Italian pearl is more like a rock capadocia or one of the cave towns of the Middle East.
The city is located in the province of Basilicata. Since 1993, UNESCO has declared Matera, its old town of Sassi, a world heritage worth preserving for posterity.
Matera is called Italian Jerusalem, it was here that many films about the life of Jesus Christ were filmed, in particular, Mel Gibson chose this place for the filming of the film The Passion of the Christ.
