We had some time before flying out of Bari so we detoured to visit it. There were few tourists this time of year. We had the whole almost all to ourselves in many moments . Great place to see and wonder how people lived in ancient times.

We stopped off on our driving tour of Puglia. Of course we knew of it due to the lates Bond film. In person it does not disappoint. If you are driving be aware there is plentiful free street parking right there at the location.

Gravina in Puglia is Wonderful ( about 25 km from Matera city of culture 2019). Good view archéology very interesting the hostoric center near the Cathedral square , Benedetto XIII Pope was born in Gravina in Puglia . I suggest you tour around S. Michele delle Grotte . In Gravina you can found good food olive oil & Wine . I suggest you the « forno S. Francesco « or « forno 77 « or « Corrado « . For « mozzarella « & « pallone di Gravina « & more i suggest you Tarantino or Ricciardi 👌

We took the 1h40 min tour, which was guided. The group was only with Italians (good that we understand this quite good). I don't know if they give the same tour in English, but I suppose. Some particular facts to learn...

We visited Gravina in October and were enchanted by this cosy, Italian town. No tourists but just traditional Italian life, great restaurants and interesting history and surroundings. Especially the gorge with the formerly inhabited rocks were well worth a visit though you shouldnot compare this to for instance Matera.

Gravina is a nice town. We really liked the place - easy to see other towns and not as expensive. The restaurants are excellent.

unlike Matera which although beautiful is quite touristy, you still feel that this is a town in which the locals live. In the evening we were the only tourists in the main square and it was great watching the locals taking their evening walk, young and old. Not as pretty as Matera but should be on your itinerary of things to see in Puglia.

Gravina in Puglia near Matera is very beautiful : culture history art good food & Wine. I suggest the visit . Very impressive S. Michele delle Grotte . You can see footprints maybe of raptorsaurus and the impressive sings of Saraceni invasion about 1000 years ago. Wonderful also the Cathedral, Finia Library and around with many masterpieces 👌

A lovely village with long history, cave churches and underground town to visit. Try the walking guided tour, it takes you to surprising and fascinating places. Worth to spend here a day or two.

Dear traveler!
These two wonderful place completely different. Gravina undeservedly not attend so many tourists. And it is in vain! Gravina deserves a visit. Historically, the city center comes at an incredibly scenic karst fault with many caves. The architecture of the old town charms.
I recommend you to visit both cities, if you have the time. You will enjoy this city to the fullest.
