      Rock-cut churches are a very interesting and unusual type of architecture that can be found in various parts of the world. These are churches that were cut from a single block of rock or hollowed out inside the rock. These churches are often associated with the history of Christianity because they were places of refuge, prayer and worship for the faithful during times of persecution.

        According to some sources, there are about 150 rock-cut churches in Matera. These churches are part of the Matera-Basilicata Archaeological Park, which was named European Capital of Culture in 2019.
