リヴェッロのおすすめツーリングルート

小さな広場、路地、海の景色、そして上から見下ろし祝福するキリスト：これらすべてがマラテアの歴史的中心部です

From the train station up to the historic center, it's quite a climb, but the effort is worthwhile – even if you're not going to see the Christ the Redeemer statue. Beautiful streets and squares. There are supposed to be 44 churches, but most of them are probably closed.

A 21-meter-high statue has stood atop Monte San Biagio since 1965. It is considered a landmark of Maratea. However, its erection was controversial among local politicians at the time. Originally, an iron cross stood on this spot, commemorating the defense against Napoleon's troops in 1806. It was later replaced by this statue of Jesus, whose face does not bear the typical features of Jesus, as his hair and beard are short. He looks more like an angel—a savior who points with open arms to the Creator in heaven and with both feet firmly planted on the ground, symbolizing the acceptance of sinners.

Leave your car before entering the village

Scario is a small village that still retains its maritime character. The small harbor still houses many fishing boats and small vessels. Its secluded location makes it a quieter place than nearby Sapri and Policastro Bussentino.

The mural in Castelluccio Inferiore is truly special: it is not a simple decorative fresco, but a 3D anamorphic work that blends memory, landscape, and visual illusionism.

It is a masterpiece of early twentieth-century railway engineering. The Castelluccio Superiore Helical Tunnel, 485.59 meters long, is one of the very few spiral tunnels in Italy. Built between 1915 and 1931 on the historic Lagonegro–Spezzano Albanese line of the Ferrovie Calabro Lucane (FCL), it represents an extraordinary example of mountain railway engineering. Bring lights and a jacket to travel through it.

The Iron Bridge of the old Lauria railway, located near the Lauria Alta cemetery, owes its name to its proximity to this site. This metal bridge is a historical reminder of the passage of the Lagonegro-Spezzano Albanese railway, which bypassed the town of Lauria Alta with impressive engineering structures, such as viaducts and tunnels. Today, the bridge is part of the cycle/pedestrian path that follows the old railway line, representing a strong link between the local industrial heritage and the surrounding natural landscape, offering a fascinating perspective on the history and memory of the area.
