Bari & Matera in Italy

It took about 2 hours to go from Munich to Bari. Bari is located in southeastern Italy.
It was vey hot when we arrived in the morning in Bari.
After checking in our hotel, we went to the Bari central station and took the local train to Matera. It took two hours to go from Bari to Matera.
Matera is a UNESCO World Heritage site. We went to Sassi where people once lived in caves; the houses were carved out of limestone.

We went down the stairs, and... 

                ...passed through the tunnel

This is the Sassi.

We walked around the houses of the Sassi. 

The view of the homes in the caves was magnificent and beautiful


Inside of a model house

I saw a model house where we could see what the inside looked like and learn about their history. 
The life in the cave houses was hard, they lived with their domestic animals in their cave-houses.
