Cultural Visits
Medieval castles, churches and historical centres
Maratea is an architecturally delightful region, defined by narrow streets, alleys and features over 40 churches. Local archaeological finds are exhibited in the Convento dei Cappuccini and the Palazzo de Lieto Museum.
The historical centres of Rivello, Nemoli (22 km) and Lagonegro (30 km) are also a short journey away.
The San Lorenzo Charterhouse in Padula (60 km), the archaeological site of Paestum (108 km), Brienza (90 km) and the medieval Caracciolo Castle - including the archaeological site of Grumentum (70 km) - are also worth visiting.
For a day trip we suggest the itinerary of the Federician Castles: Castel Lagopesole (151 km), Melfi (179 km), Venosa (184 km) e Palazzo San Gervaso (183 km). Of particular interest is the city of Matera (178 km) - awarded a World Heritage designation by UNESCO.
