The Caves of San Giorgio Lucano, in the province of Matera in Basilicata, are anthropic caves still used for agricultural and pastoral purposes.
The complex located in San Giorgio Lucano is particularly unique and is a perfect example of how man and nature can cohabit. In fact, the caves could not exist if man had not dug them into the ground.
The Caves of San Giorgio Lucano are among the most important underground sites in Italy, still in use where rural culture preserves and passes down ancient knowledge and methods of agriculture.
