Convicinio di Sant'Antonio

A complex of four connected rock churches, later turned into a wine cellar, where you can see both frescoes and wine-pressing vats.

This group of buildings sits at the southern end of the Caveoso district. It is built around a small courtyard with four 13th-century rock churches, including the Church of Sant’Antonio. After the 18th century, the churches were secularised and converted into wine cellars and dwellings, so beside the frescoes you can still see grape-pressing troughs and wine storage pools carved into the floor. This reflects how the spaces of the Sassi were reused again and again. Admission depends on the day.
