Massafra is a fascinating city: it welcomes guests as they reach the A14 motorway, heading towards the extreme south of the country. With an altitude of 110 meters above sea level, Massafra overlooks the Ionian Sea. From the terrace of Casa Camilla you can see the mountains of Calabria and the entire Gulf of Taranto on the horizon. The history of Massafra is closely related to the presence of ravines, it is where rock civilization is born and develops. The biggest and most famous are the ravine of the Madonna della Scala, which extends for over 4 km, and the ravine San Marco that cuts the city in two. It is precisely in the Ravines that the people began to excavate the grotesque environments to be allocated to the residence. Tradition known until the first decade of the '600, where there were more than 200 housing units. Of great iconographic and architectural interest are the 30 churches excavated in the rock, also known as Byzantine crypts, dating from the sixth to the fifteenth century AD. The main crypts are: Buona Nuova (7th-8th century), San Marco, Candelora, San Leonardo, San Antonio, Santa Marina from which the names of the rooms of Casa Camilla.
