Massafra — Gravine e Cripte Rupestri
Puglia
Massafra's old town sits between two gravine, deep karst ravines whose walls are honeycombed with rock-cut chapels and hermit dwellings dating back over a thousand years, a smaller and less-visited counterpart to the better-known gravina at Matera nearby. Paths along the ravine rims give views down into the carved rock faces.
