At one point in the town's history, there was a major mudslide (frana) that wiped out most of the town; however, it recovered. Atop the hill stands a medieval castle, which was first owned by the barone. However, after the barone was overthrown, there was an earthquake that destroyed much of the town. The castle was later renovated and divided up into sections for different families' housing. In the late mid-1900s, a section was abandoned and wasn't renovated until 2003. That part, as well as another is currently owned and still being renovated.

Worth the detour from San Martino d'Agri

2 notable places within an hour's drive.

landmark

Castelmezzano

Village wedged into the jagged sandstone spires of the Dolomiti Lucane, linked to neighbouring Pietrapertosa by the Volo dell'Angelo zipline that flies 120 km/h across the gorge. The SP13 approach through the rock gateway is unforgettable.

32 km · about 35 min drive

ancient ruins

Craco

Ghost town abandoned in 1963 after a landslide, its Norman tower and gutted palazzi still crowning a clay ridge above the Basento badlands. Visitable on guided hard-hat tours; a favourite film set from The Passion of the Christ to 007.
