Tursi, Italian comune

Tursi is a commune in the province of Matera in southern Italy's Basilicata region. The town sits on a hillside with traditional stone buildings and narrow lanes typical of settlements in this area.

Tursi was founded in the Middle Ages and was part of southern Italy's complex political history under various rulers. The town maintained its traditional layout through centuries despite experiencing multiple shifts in governance and economic conditions.

The narrow lanes of the town call for comfortable footwear when exploring its hilly terrain. Visitors find small food shops and basic amenities near the town center where they can pause and refresh.
