Visit Chiesa di Santa Maria di Idris (Church of Saint Mary of Idris), Matera, Italy
The church of Santa Maria di Idris, also known as "Santa Maria de Idris" or "Madonna de Idris", is located in Matera, within the Sassi. It is a rupestrian church, meaning it was dug into the rock.
It is located in the upper part of Monterrone, a large limestone cliff that rises in the middle of the Sasso Caveoso; it is reached via a flight of steps near the rock church of Santa Lucia alle Malve. The name Idris derives from the Greek Odigitria, meaning "she who shows the way," or from the water that flowed from that rock.
