Castelsaraceno

Built around a fortified settlement on a high ridge, Castelsaraceno developed into a compact mountain town in Basilicata. It lies between Pollino National Park and the Appennino Lucano Val d’Agri Lagonegrese National Park, amid wooded Apennine slopes and inland valleys. The old centre retains closely set stone houses and narrow lanes shaped by the terrain. Castelsaraceno is also known for the Ponte tra i Due Parchi, a 586-metre pedestrian suspension bridge associated with the two protected mountain areas. This contemporary landmark adds a striking element to a settlement with a strongly traditional layout.
