Stand on the cobbled brink of Laterza and the town feels like it leans toward the gorge — the Gravina daring you to look over and listen. With the iTourist app in your pocket the old streets unfold in short audio chapters: the Palazzo Marchesale’s heavy stones, MuMa’s glazed ceramics, the hush of the Sanctuary of Mater Domini and the carved Rock Church of Cristo Giudice tucked into the canyon’s lip.
