Church of Saint Peter 'Barisano'
Catholic church
👍 This was the biggest of the 3 rock churches we visited in Matera. It was more complex and had catacombs as a bonus. I strongly recommend it is worthwhile to consider buying the combined ticket for this and the other churches (plus other casa attractions). Look for the OltreLAtre symbols around town.

Church of Our Lady 'delle Vergini'
Catholic church
👍👍 Takes just over an hour to walk here from Matera. Be aware that there is a very steep hill to go down, then flat for a way, then steep incline again and another bit to climb to get to the site.
There are also caves around the area to explore by foot. The church is almost never open but there is a l...

Chiesa di Santa Lucia alle Malve
Catholic church
👍👍 To get a good look of the interior of the rock churches, which Matera is famous for, you have the option to buy a single ticket for 4 euro or a combined ticket of 3 churches for 8 euros. The two-ticket option at 7 euro makes no sense.
If you want just pick one from the three, this will be my choice....

Chiesa di Santa Lucia e Agata alla Fontana
Catholic church
👍👍 El nombre de esta iglesia que incluye el término "alla fontana", alude a la cercanía de la fuente Ferdinandea, y la importancia que tenía la misma en su época. La iglesia es muy simple, tanto en el tratamiento de su fachada como en su interior, muy austero. Igual, vale la pena visitarla, sobre todo...

Chiesa Rupestre di San Nicola all'Ofra
Historical place
👍👍 Amazing place to visit in Matera. About a 45 minute walk from Sassi Caveoso. Google maps didn't direct us there perfectly so posting photos to help. There were a lot of painted rocks and light posts along the way with a green and yellow stripe on them. When you get close to the end you will see one...

Cripta di Santa Maria della Palomba
Shrine
👍👍 This church seems to be a time capsule. The farther you venture into the chapel and adjoining rooms the farther back in time you seem to travel. The murals and architecture are just a small part of the beauty. It feels like a setting from a Dan Brown story
We spent a bout 45 mins but more time is ne...

Chiesa di San Biagio
Catholic church
👍 Una chiesetta piccola piccola costruita nel 1600, tutta in pietra, semplicissima, due campanili, la statua di Sant'Agata e quella di Santa Lucia. Un gioiellino.

👍👍 La chiesa di Santa Chiara fu edificata contemporaneamente al seminario Lanfranchi tra il 1668 e il 1672, su iniziativa del vescovo di Matera Antonio del Ryos Culminarez.
La chiesa faceva parte del quartiere ‘case nuove’, costruito per ospitare quanti lavoravano all’interno del Seminario. La sua cos...

Cappella di San Giovanni da Matera
Historical place
👍👍 Small churches and rock caves to visit as they are still preserved intact compared to those restored in the tourist district of the Sassi di Matera. I recommend trekking and visiting the whole area
