Visit Chiesa di Santa Lucia alle Malve, Matera, Italy

Santa Lucia alle Malve is a rock church located near the Sasso Caveoso of Matera, annexed to a Benedictine female monastery dating back to the 11th century. Initially the church was dedicated to Saint Agatha, and was then dedicated to Saint Lucia between 1217 and 1267. After the transfer of the nuns in 1525 first to the monastery of Santa Lucia alla Civita and then to Santa Lucia al Piano, the church was used as a residence.
