Matera, located in the southern Italian region of Basilica (Basilicata), the capital of Matera province. It is dangerous and inconvenient to traffic, so the economy is slow. Because it is the location of Hollywood star Mel Gibson's sensational film in 2002 and the controversial film "Jesus' Good Friday", it attracted tourists from all over the world. The film industry has made a great contribution to Matera's tourism industry. Matala, which is 405 meters above sea level and has a population of about 50,000, has a rich and varied landscape. There is a limestone area of 350-400 meters deep, with plateau areas, valleys and two natural depressions, as well as cave caves originally called "sassi". Matala is now divided into new urban areas and old urban areas. Our hotel is a remodeled castle in the old town. Our car can only park on the edge of the old town, dragging our luggage, and hurried along the streets of the old town. Everything around me has made me unable to take out my camera and walk. "No matter which direction you approach Matera, you will definitely leave an indelible memory when you first see its famous grotto dwellings." This is a sentence about Matera introduced in the book. The moment I stepped into the ancient city of Matera, I was really fascinated by her. No wonder Lonely Planet once rated it as "the lost civilized city of the world". When I first looked at the entire old city of Matera by the railing of the viewing attractions, although I stood by many tourists, I still felt the silent loneliness of this stone city. She was there, in front of you, It's within reach but it's like a world you'll never get near. We stopped and stopped in the ancient city, waiting for the Italian pink sunset to red every stone house, and waiting for night to fall, a curved moon shining on the ancient hilltop church, the whole stone city immersed in warm orange lights, compared with the day, Instead, there was more tenderness. We stayed in Matera for 2 nights, I walked through every street and alley of the ancient city, from morning to night, how much I loved this place, Matera must be one of my favorites on my trip to southern Italy. Matella now welcomes 100,000 tourists a year, and the town is still quiet and pleasant. Because there are more and more movies as its free travel ambassador, sooner or later it will be lively, so, while you can still see her original appearance, come quickly! Matella Stone City
