Caves Maintaned And Redone To Serve As Hotels

No one would surely think at the fact that Italy has the most number of UNESCO World Heritage Sites. With regards to this matter, I am sure that most of you would think that these sites are mostly associated to the Roman Empire architecture found all over the big cities in Italy. You are definitely mistaken, I am going to take the honor of jutifying to you that there are actually many sites south of Italy that are included in UNESCO's World Heritage Sites which are not rather notable. I myself was staggered at first, but there it was, splendid mountains and caves (surprised aren't you?) as it can be.

You can move by train or by private wheels if you have one, to Cosenza from Reggio di Calabria, south of Italy. From there you can go onward Italy's largest national park in Pollino and aim for the town of Matera. In this small but attractive town, architectures like churches, buildings, and houses were built on rocks (a really clever idea!). If you plan to spend a holiday, you can savor living in the caves first-hand by checking in the Hotel Sant'Angelo. The 1400 meter caves were maintaned and redone to become a hotel including courtyards, dwellings, pathways, and stairways.
