Gravina in Puglia Canyon
Puglia
Gravina in Puglia built its homes and churches directly into ravine walls above the Gravina river. A Norman bridge crosses the gorge; cave churches with 8th-century Byzantine frescoes are cut into the opposite wall. The canyon walk beneath the city reveals a prehistory of troglodyte habitation going back 30,000 years.
