"This is the most outstanding, intact example of a troglodyte settlement
in the Mediterranean region, perfectly adapted to its terrain and
ecosystem. The first inhabited zone dates from the Palaeolithic, while
later settlements illustrate a number of significant stages in human
history. Matera is in the southern region of Basilicata." -http://whc.unesco.org/

Thank you so much Edo for this wonderful postcard!
I've read once that this is the place where the movies "Ben Hur" and Mel Gibson's "Passion of the Christ" was filmed.
