History counts it among the strongholds founded by the Romans and, later, rebuilt and fortified by the Lombards. The combination of history and nature is striking in this small Lucanian village, which is perched on a hill. Wild woods alternating with romantic vineyards irrigated by natural springs are combined with ancient alleys and stone portals of noble palaces. Characteristic is the historic centre from which it is possible to admire the Mother Church dedicated to San Nicola di Bari, characterised by a Romanesque structure and a baroque interior style, and to reach the remains of the Roman rustic villa of San Giovanni.
