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.

Grottole presents itself as a village divided into two distinct parts: the ancient part, full of cobbled streets and historic buildings that narrate the history of the community, and the modern part, more functional and contemporary. While the old Grottole enchants with its timeless charm and its authenticity rooted in history, the new Grottole offers a vision of the growth and evolution of the city. The contrast between the two parts adds a unique element to the experience of visiting Grottole, highlighting the diversity and coexistence of past and present.

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.

Village located between the Basento and Bradano rivers included, in part, in the San Giuliano regional reserve. The city is famous for a clay working.

A beautiful road with slopes not to be underestimated that connects Pietrapertosa and Campomaggiore. Guaranteed excellent views of the Lucanian Dolomites, especially towards Castelmezzano.

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.

Grottole has remote origins so as to be one of the oldest centers in the region. The finds of prehistoric, Greek and Roman settlements are a precise testimony in this sense. The toponym could derive from the Greek Kruptai, hidden places, and from the Latin cryptulae or small caves, rooms used for working clay, an art for which Grottole has remained famous over the centuries. In the Magna Graecia period, Grottole was part of the VII Metapontine region, colonized by the Greeks starting from the VIII century BC. It was fortified by the Longobards, from whom it managed to escape around the year 1000. In 1061, in the Norman era, the feud of Grottole passed under the dominion of Guglielmo Braccio di Ferro, and subsequently passed to Roberto il Guiscardo and then to the counts Loffredo di Matera. Over the centuries the fiefdom of Grottole was disputed by various lordships. Carlo I D'Angiò assigned it to Ruggero di Lauro, count of Tricarico, who had supported the Angevin conquest, and from these it passed to the Monteforte and Orsini Del Balzo families. At the beginning of the sixteenth century it was a possession of the Gaetani Dell'Aquila d'Aragona family. In 1534 it passed under the dominion of the Marquises Sanchez De Luna of Aragon, the treasurers of the Kingdom of Naples, while in the following century the Caracciolos and Spinellis of San Giorgio followed one another, until 1738 when it passed to the Sanseverinos of Bisignano by marriage. After 1806, with the subversive law of feudalism, the assets were divided between the descendants of the Sanseverinos and D. Rosa Miracco, a natural daughter of Luigi Sanseverino 13th Prince of Bisignano [8], who had always been closely linked to the feud of Grottole. Only in 1874 did Grottole get rid of the last feudatory Prince Sanseverino. The municipal territory (the ancient universitas as the municipalities were once called) was divided into districts.
