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.

The people living here in the caves led a very modest life.

Here, several gorges (Gravina) branch off with the most beautiful vegetation in spring.

The chapel of San Nicola all'Ofra is part of a large complex of caves dug on four levels used by shepherds as a sheepfold. The smallest of the arches is decorated with a fresco of the Madonna and Child with Saints, on which the date 1839 and the client "Cosimo Caione" can be read.
