Today, the "underground city" is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and filmmakers call it Little Jerusalem. Mel Gibson filmed The Passion of the Christ here. Matera cannot be described, you have to be there 😀

Matera is one of the oldest continuously inhabited cities in the world. In the 1950s, due to extreme poverty (people lived with their farm animals in caves carved into the rock, with brick facades), the Italian government decided to forcibly relocate most of the population.

It was windy and cold, and snow fell in nearby Basilicata, leaving Matera a quiet and peaceful place. It's an incredible place, and I'll definitely be back.

sadness and anger, silence in the face of violence means consent, thank you for your voice, sirenmA!

Matera, one of my favorite, unique places on Earth! Great photo!

my best way to relax - #BikeRide between the Gorce and #Pieniny Mountains, along the charming Czorsztyn Lake, whose surface reflects the medieval castles in Czorsztyn and Niedzica.

Nikiszowiec was built in the 1910s as a workers’ housing for miners of the Giesche mine

it retains its unique charm to this day, every year residents paint the walls around the windows with red mining paint
