The square at the top of the village, still decorated for the feast of San Rocco, the town's patron saint. From the square, a road leads to the old town, a well-established place to visit, all the way to the viewpoint overlooking the countryside to the north, a little-known gem.
Around the square, there are several fountains for refueling and bars for a tasty break!

Viewpoint of Montescaglioso

Highlight • Viewpoint

From here you have a spectacular view of the surrounding parks. From the terrace you can in fact admire the green expanse that extends as far as the eye can see and the signs help to identify the parks.

Descent from Montescaglioso to Matera

Highlight • Trail

Descending from the center of Montescaglioso, you follow this perfectly paved downhill stretch with a series of beautiful hairpin bends overlooking the mountain countryside. It's about 3 km downhill before the road starts climbing again toward Matera. There's a bit of traffic, especially on the way up, but overall, it's very pleasant!
