The origin of Celso is linked to the figure of some families from Pollica who, to escape the infighting of their country, took refuge higher up the hill: it still retains the ancient urban structure, which makes it a particularly characteristic place, especially in the districts of San Biase and Valle. Many houses are adorned with defensive towers, placed to guard massive driveways, which allow the passage of only one person at a time.

It is a very ancient village built entirely with local stones. It has a baronial palace of great beauty and a stone church in a panoramic position over the valleys. It is located close to a dense and uncontaminated wooded area. The square passes under the Mazziotti palace and continues with an avenue of unusual charm. It is a place of the soul surrounded by a nature of rare beauty.
