Parish St. Francis
Catholic church
👍👍 Il complesso della chiesa di San Francesco è stata in parte ristrutturata creando nuovi spazi e parcheggi pubblici. La chiesa molto imponente come struttura risale intorno al 1245 è un complesso di importanza storica molto elevato sia a livello architettonico che di testimonianza del cattolicesimo/c...

Santuario Madonna del Pollino
Shrine
👍👍 Una chiesetta molto carina. Piccola e accogliente meta di pellegrini e camminatori. Si affaccia su un panorama mozzafiato. Molto suggestiva è la piccola grotta situata vicino alla chiesetta con la statua della Madonna.

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 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...

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...

Abbey of the Holy Trinity

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....
