If you’re after a day-trip destination, we’ve got a couple of ideas. Sitting 17 miles away, Matera is worth getting in the car for. Soak up the sights beginning with Cathedral of Matera, Palombaro Lungo and Church of Santa Maria de Idris. Locals will also probably point you toward Gravina in Puglia, 20 miles away. If you only see one attraction here, let it be Capitular Library of Finia. (But we’d also highly recommend Bastione Rinascimentale and Castle of Gravina.)
