Visit UNESCO-listed cave districts and rock churches in Matera, Italy - SilverKris

"A standout example of the rupestrian churches carved by 8th–9th-century Byzantine monks: a rock-cut chapel richly decorated with evocative frescoes, including images of angels and scenes of Adam and Eve, and prized by visitors for its early medieval devotional art and atmospheric setting." - SilverKris
