Spectacular panorama of the city of Matera photographed from the Gravina, with a complete view of the Sassi area. From this privileged perspective, one can appreciate the incredible layering of the rock dwellings climbing up the hillside, creating a landscape unique in the world. The golden sunset light accentuates the warm tones of the limestone, a UNESCO World Heritage site.
