Nature and Views in Basilicata

Basilicata’s landscape is defined by the prehistoric cave dwellings of Matera and the rugged peaks of the Southern Apennines. This list features the panoramic viewpoints overlooking the Sassi districts, the 586-meter-long Tibetan bridge at Castelsaraceno, and the extinct volcanic slopes of Monte Vulture. High-altitude highlights include Monte Pollino and Serra del Prete within Italy’s largest national park, alongside the historical San Fele waterfalls and the ancient Lucanian sanctuary at Rossano di Vaglio.
