Matera was said to be settled since the Palaeolithic 10th millennium BC, which makes it one of the oldest continually inhabited settlements in the world. Alternatively, it has been suggested by Anne Parmly Toxey that the area has been occupied continuously for at least three millennia and occupied sporadically for 150–700 millennia. The town was founded by the Roman Lucius Caecilius Metellus who called it Matheola. Matera is popular for its Sassi and stunning landscapes.
