the hike is marked but not enough, but let's say it's very easy to orient yourself just go straight. it's a fairly open path, only a small stretch covered by trees, so when it's hot it's better to bring a hat. bring something to eat because I don't think there were any refreshment points. fantastic place with a peaceful atmosphere. the day I went, which was June, there were a few insects, but they were harmless.

The Grumentum Archaeological Park preserves, within an exceptionally suggestive landscape, the remains of one of the major Roman cities of Regio III: Lucania et Bruttii. Initially a small Lucanian center allied with Rome, settled since the beginning of the 3rd century BC, it was crossed by Hannibal during the Second Punic War, when he took the side of the Carthaginians, and was the scene of a battle narrated by Livy. Following a slow process of Romanization, which provided for land assignments to the Romans through the centuriation system, the center was monumentalized starting from the middle of the 1st century BC, when it was refounded as a Roman colony. From this period onwards, it was equipped with all the typical monuments of Roman cities, in imitation of the Urbe. Today the site, a unique example in Basilicata of a Roman urban plan that is clearly legible as a whole, allows a visit through the public and private spaces of the Roman city, still delineated by the regularity of the ancient road axes. From the theater you can reach the Italic temple, the domus with mosaics and, along the paving of the main plateia, the area of the Forum with public, civil and religious buildings (Capitolium, Augusteo, Porticus, Curia, Basilica, Forensic Baths). The route then continues to the Terme Maggiori, an extraordinarily preserved thermal complex, rich in luxurious decorative apparatus (mosaics, imported marbles...), to the Basilica of Santa Maria Assunta, which represents the first cathedral when the center became the seat of a bishop. The route ends near the monumental amphitheater, one of the oldest masonry amphitheaters known to us. Strategically positioned on the eastern edge of the hill, it is located overlooking the Pietra del Pertusillo Lake, in the heart of the Appennino Lucano National Park. A visit to Grumentum allows you to fully appreciate the close relationship between archaeology and nature, between landscape and culture.

It is the Sacro Monte of Viggiano, at 1725 m above sea level, the place where the most important Marian sanctuary in the region stands, the one dedicated to the Black Madonna, queen of Viggiano, officially proclaimed "Protector" of Basilicata in 1991 by Pope John Paul II. Holiday The celebrations in honor of the Black Madonna are divided into two moments of the year: on the first Sunday of May the statue is brought, inside a shrine, from the center of Viggiano to the sanctuary of the mountain. On the first Sunday of September, the statue does the reverse route. This celebration is preceded by a procession (of the pilgrim) held on the previous Saturday.

It is an artificial lake built at the end of the 50s by the damming of the Agri river. Here fauna and flora have found fertile ground to create a real ecosystem which is now protected as a SCI (system of community interest).

Ancient remains of an amphitheater of Roman origin.
