It is a masterpiece of early twentieth-century railway engineering.
The Castelluccio Superiore Helical Tunnel, 485.59 meters long, is one of the very few spiral tunnels in Italy. Built between 1915 and 1931 on the historic Lagonegro–Spezzano Albanese line of the Ferrovie Calabro Lucane (FCL), it represents an extraordinary example of mountain railway engineering.
Bring lights and a jacket to travel through it.
