It’s a very special and quite unique place, however, avoid to visit while groups are inside we had a bad experience with one of the external guides that was asking us (in a rude way) to move all the time to have the full area for his group.
Incredibly unique church with well-presented information. Frescoes are unfortunately not very well preserved but it is worth a visit for how interesting the place is.
Church Santa Maria de Idris is located on top of a small hill, carved into a rock, with spectacular outside appearance.
The interiors are small, only two rooms with medieval semi preserved frescoes - no photos. It's included in the Combo Church pass

An interesting church although I found the charge a little unnecessarily high with no discounts for students. Will take around 10 minutes to the inside which has some beautiful frescos.
The curch in itself is fascinating and next to it there is an amazing belvedre. You do have to buy a ticket but if you buy a ticket for all 3 churches the orice is only 8 euros. It is quite small but like i said interesting. Definitely nothing like a church you are used to seeing.
We didn't go in so not sure what it's like inside. However, you get great views of Matera and the surrounding valley on the walk up to the Church and from the Church itself.
Church of Saint Mary of Idris is located in Matera , inside the Sassi - a rock church (carved into the rock). The location offers a unique view of the city. The church of dates back to the fifteenth century and is part of a rock complex that also includes the oldest crypt, dedicated to San Giovanni in Monterrone. We enjoyed our time here 🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸
