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.

Castelluccio Superiore, nestled in the picturesque Mercure Valley, welcomes you with a historic center brimming with medieval charm, cobbled alleys, and panoramic views of the Pollino National Park. Strolling among ancient stone houses and intimate squares, you'll discover a true "terrace" overlooking the valley below, where history and nature intertwine. The village is home to the Ethnobotanical Conservatory, a research and documentation center dedicated to applied botany and ethnobotany, a hub for scholars and visitors interested in local herbal traditions and the promotion of biodiversity.

Morano Calabro hosts a live nativity scene every year, where locals reenact scenes from Bethlehem against the backdrop of old streets and squares. You can see shepherds, craftsmen and even real animals, all prepared with great care and dedication. This is a local event that is put into the heart and is worth seeing if you are in the area in winter.

Morano Calabro is called "Presepe del Pollino" - the Nativity Scene of the Pollino Mountains. This comparison is a direct result of its unique location and appearance, especially when viewed from a distance or from the lower parts of the valley. The town is built on a very steep hillside, and the houses are densely packed one on top of the other, towering upwards. The entire town, with the ruins of the castle at the top, takes the shape of an almost perfect cone. This gives it a three-dimensionality and a specific silhouette that resembles traditional, three-dimensional nativity scenes.

Morano Calabro is one of the most beautiful and picturesque towns of Calabria, located in the north of the region, in the province of Cosenza, at the foot of the Pollino massif, in the heart of the Parco Nazionale del Pollino, the largest national park in Italy. The town has only a few thousand inhabitants, but it has an extraordinary historical and visual heritage that makes it unique. The history of the town dates back to Roman times (2nd century BC).
