Archaeological Sites of Basilicata

Basilicata’s archaeological landscape spans from the Doric columns of Magna Graecia to medieval rock-cut settlements. This collection features the well-preserved Greek temples of Metapontum and the Roman urban layout of Grumentum, complete with its amphitheater. Notable highlights include the 8th-century frescoes of the Crypt of Original Sin, often called the 'Sistine Chapel of rupestrian art,' and the abandoned hilltop ruins of Craco. These sites reveal the region’s strategic importance for Lucanians, Greeks, and Romans alike.
