Situated in the neighbouring region of Basilicata, this Troglodyte town is now a UNESCO world heritage site. Considered as slums in the 1950s and called ‘Italy’s shame’, the caves inhabited by locals and their animals were cleared and their owners rehoused in high rise apartments in the suburbs. Of late, many of the ‘Sassi’ have been reclaimed, restructured and refurbished. You will now find boutique hotels, Air B&Bs, stylish bars and restaurants where once there were hovels. Well worth the 90 minute journey from Alberobello, the town has been the backdrop for the James Bond film ‘No Time to Die’ and Mel Gibson’s ‘The Passion of the Christ’. Within the caves you will find ancient churches, cathedrals and places of worship as well as ancient cave artwork.
