Castelmezzano is an enchanting village perched in the heart of the Little Lucanian Dolomites, in the province of Potenza. The historic center of the town, among houses carved into the rock, steep stairs and small alleys that offer unexpected views of the wonderful panoramas of the Lucanian Dolomites, have meant that Castelmezzano is counted among the most beautiful villages in Italy. Right above the town center there are particular and extremely characteristic sandstone rock formations which contribute to the spectacular nature of the landscape.

Hiking
After the narrow alleys and steps through the old town, the climb to the rocks is worthwhile.
Even in rainy weather, the rocks are easily accessible via iron stairs.
In heavy rain, every small alley becomes a rushing stream.

Steep stairs, narrow streets, some chapels and churches are waiting to be explored. There are beautiful views from the Piazza Emilio Caizzo of the village and the surrounding countryside.
