マテーラのおすすめウォーキング＆ハイキングルート

ムルジェッキア高原の岩盤に完全に掘り込まれたマドンナ・デッレ・ヴェルジニ岩窟教会は、中世に起源を持ちます。石に埋め込まれたファサードは18世紀のものです。シンプルで落ち着いた内部は、元の地下構造を部分的に変えたいくつかの改築の痕跡を示しています。描かれた凝灰岩の祭壇、聖母の描写、そして19世紀の木製の聖母子像が残っています。短い廊下は、もう一つの小さな地下空間に通じています。地元のテラコッタで作られ、一列のマヨルカタイルで装飾された床は興味深いです。長年の伝統に従い、毎年5月の最終日曜日に聖母の祭りが祝われます。

a church in an enchanting place

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.
