Chapel of Our Lady of Monteserico

Highlight • Religious Site

The Chapel of the Madonna di Monteserico, located on the esplanade of the ancient castle, is a small rural sanctuary linked to the local popular devotion. Once the hub of the village's religious life, it housed an image of the Virgin believed to be miraculous, and even today, Mass is celebrated there once a year in her honor.

Monteserico Castle

Highlight • Castle

Built in Norman times, it is located on a peak (Monte Serico 550 m.s.l.m.) about 15 km from Genzano di Lucania. The castle dominates a vast valley which was an important hinge between the territories of the Bradano dominated by the Byzantines and the northern territories of Basilicata dominated by the Lombards and Normans. Conceived by the Normans as a defensive system, it was the scene of battle between Normans and Byzantines in which the latter were defeated. In the Middle Ages it was also a refuge for the Basilian monks.

Scenic rural road through rolling hills

Highlight • Trail

Lonely road, only agricultural traffic, rather battered bottom with many holes. In autumn everything was harvested, only the tomato harvest was still in full swing. Very contemplative guide.

Endless Fields of Basilicata

Highlight • Viewpoint

You pedal through the fields that stretch as far as the eye can see, the only noise that accompanies us is that of the wheels on the dirt road.
