Gravina in Puglia Historic Center and Roman Aqueduct

Highlight • Historical Site

Gravina in Puglia is the charming town where the Alta Murgia park is located.
The town and the surrounding area are characterized by the famous ravines: deep canyons dug into the rock by water over time.
Here, you can also admire the Aqueduct bridge that connects the two banks of the Gravina stream.

View of Lake San Giuliano and the San Giuliano Dam

Highlight • Lake

Located in the San Giuliano regional reserve, which is a protected area located between the municipalities of Matera, Miglionico and Grottole, the dam on the Bradano river was created in the 1950s and is clearly visible from this point. The lake has become an oasis managed by the WWF since the end of the 1980s, while in 2006 part of the fossil skeleton of a whale dating back to the Pleistocene was found on its banks. The lake itself extends for almost ten square kilometers.

Sedile Square

Highlight • Settlement

Beautiful little square dominated by the façade of the E. Duni Conservatory. The ideal place to have a breakfast or an aperitif in the center, a stone's throw from the Duomo.

Through a portico made of three round arches, we enter a small terrace dedicated to the Italian painter Luigi Guerricchio, born in Matera. There is a panoramic view of old Matera from here.

View of the Sanctuary of Santa Maria della Palomba and the Gravina of Matera

Highlight • Viewpoint

Going along the absurd cycle path (a bit kamikaze and one-way) of via San Vito you reach an open space from which it is possible to admire the overhangs of the ravine and above all the rear vault of the Sanctuary of S. Maria della Palomba, which from this perspective it almost appears to materialize directly from the rocks below and from the adjacent tuff quarry.
