One of the most particular churches in the city of Materia, rich in history and very fascinating.

The church is easy to reach. There is no certain information about its origin, but it is the only rock-cut church that still serves as a parish church. There are additional caves in the rock face where the church was built.

The southern Italian city of Matera is impressive and attractive, but at the same time also mysterious and a bit rough. It looks more like a labyrinth of stone houses, steep staircases and narrow streets. The Sassi di Matera, or Stones of Matera, is full of caves that were once inhabited and were therefore a disgrace to Italy. Times have changed suddenly, and today the Sassi di Matera are the pride not only of the city, but also of the entire Basilicata region, in which Matera is located.
