EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the mesmerizing beauty of the cave dwellings and ancient rock church in Gravina Di Matera, located in the Basilicata region of Southern Italy. Nestled within the Matera Canyon, these prehistoric rock dwellings and historic church stand as a testament to the rich history of this remarkable city. Considered the third oldest city in the world, after Jericho and Aleppo, Matera has been continuously inhabited since the Stone Age until present day. The modern city now resides on the opposite side of this breathtaking canyon. Designated as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO since 1993, this internationally renowned landmark showcases not only its stunning calcarenite cliffs but also its deep-rooted traditions and vibrant Mediterranean culture. In this image, we see one person standing amidst these ancient structures, providing scale to their grandeur. The warm summer colors bring out every intricate detail of these cliff dwellings that have withstood centuries of time. As you gaze upon this photograph, you are transported back to an era long gone yet still preserved within these tuff walls. It is a visual reminder of our shared human history and an invitation to explore Matera's fascinating past firsthand.
