The place was so bad that most residents were relocated in the 1950’s – it has become fashionable again in recent years and a lot of work has been done there..

Wonderful! This is somewhere I’ve always wanted to visit but so far not got around too! By the way, how are you healing up?
We included it on a trip to Puglia a few years back – Matera was probably my favourite part… On the mend thanks Sarah – physio this morning – I’m mostly out of the boot and can put some weight on the foot – no crutch around the house now… next thing is just building up my walking again and then driving at some stage – can’t even imagine that yet!
I will! Trying not to dwell too much on a wasted summer… Hoping to get to New Jersey next weekend to see Bruce! Over and back – just a few nights and doing very little else – certainly no great walks around NYC!
Like Sarah, this is a place I never got around to visiting, but it’s still on my list as a possibility one day. That’s a lovely collection of doors you’ve given us. Hope you are having something of a summer over there. Ours comes and goes, more going than coming actually.
Well worth a visit – and I know you love Italy – hope you make it one day. We’ve actually had a few decent days now – blue skies instead of grey thankfully although I think it’s due to change again..People are making the most of it before schools reopen next week…
Nice series! Love the stone!
An extraordinary place – hanging on the edge of a ravine….
Amazing that it has survived through the years!

Great you’re making progress, you’ll get there!

Wonderful selection
Thank you Sheree. XXXMarie

Loved Matera, stayed in the Sassi area, behind a door very in keeping with these.
We stayed just outside town – but in a regular new build hotel – I’d have liked to stay in the town itself – just for the experience…

Just gorgeous! I would love to know what’s behind every one of them.
I hope they are full of state-of-the-art mod cons!!! I’d like to open the doors and find nice straight slick lines and loads of space!!
These photos are amazing. The buildings seem to rise out of their surroundings.
That’s exactly it Dan – built over a cave network…. it’s very impressive
What a splendid set of doors.
I wish I’d more but at least these give a sense of the place…
I am speechless. This place is amazing. I hope I will visit one day.
Reminded me of Greece.
It’s fabulous – you should see it from the other side of the ravine – hope you make it there some day…. XXXXMarie
Matera is truly beautiful, what an incredible place Marie!
It really is Hannah – I’m not sure if you’ve been to that part of Italy – it fits in nicely with a trip to Puglia..
Those are some wonderful doors! 😊
The whole place is wonderful – and quite eerie at night as you can imagine….
