Matera, Italy
Believed to date further back than recorded history, Matera, Italy, still seems like a village from another time. The town has been used as a location stand-in for biblical-era Jerusalem in many film and television productions. The city’s old town, Sassi di Matera, even retains some of the cave dwellings that housed the people who originally settled the area millennia ago.
