church of santa maria de idris印象
-
looks good from the outside! inside the paintings are probably of interest to many, but on the whole there is little inside apart from the paintings themselves. it's actually two old churches in one so goes quite far into the rock

I remember being in this church several years ago on one of our first trips. They have relocated the entrance to the side and there is a helpful attendant who speaks some English. For 3 euro you get into Santa Maria de Idris and San Giovanni in Monterrone, they are connected by small passage.If you have never seen one of the churches carved into the rock then it might be worth the price. I've sen others in the Sassi and wouldn't pay to see this again. There are some frescoes but most are severely worn.On a hot August day it was a nice break from the sweltering sun.They are closed on Mondays and reduced hours in the low season.

Beautiful to look at from the outside and a fascinating example of a rock carved church dating back to the 11th century with some soft preserved frescoes. An added benefit would be the view of the Sassi from the church on your way out.

It’s a steep climb up to Chiesa di Santa Maria d’Idris, which is dug into Mount Errone (“the Idris rock”) just above San Pietro Caveoso. A narrow corridor leads through to another church, San Giovanni in Monterrone, which has well preserved frescoes dating back to the 1300s - until a few years ago it was used as a crypt.

Beautiful church made of rock, on a cliff overlooking the murge (gorge). You will also want to see the surrounding area, wander as you will, see the rock churches with frescos...spend at least a day in the sassi, or more is a lot better, then go outside with a licensed guide and see the rock churches with frescos out in the countryside.

Dominating the skyline of both old Matera and looking down from new Matera onto the Sassi, the church is carved into the rock and contains some beautiful examples of frescoes dating back as far as the 11th & 12th Centuries.

It cost £3 to get in. The church itself is only small. But the entrance fee provides you with a short description of what the frescos are. It's a nice walk up to the church. Good point to take photos.

This is one of two churches carved out of the same pinnacle of rock at Matera. It is amazing to think how it was carved by hand all those years ago. The remnants of some old frescoes remain and you can almost imagine the simple services taking place here in earlier and less certain days. The view on the way in and out is also very excellent!

We enjoyed climbing to the church, which has a very good view of the Sassi and the ravine. However, the person at the front desk was was sour and didn't bother to tell us that Chiesa San Giovanni in Monterrone is connected, so we didn't see it. The frescos and the way the church was built into a cave is interesting, so it it worth seeing.

The name is Madonna de Irdis. This is one of two churches that are connected, the other being San Giovanni in Monte Errone. This two churches sit high above Sasso Caveoso in a hump of rock. They are beautiful inside with soft light and some beautifully soft frescoes.
