A beautiful view sets the background for the town of Muro Lucano that, with its houses and stone castle perched along the slope of the hill, looks like a characteristic Christmas Crib. History and religion come together in this town where Queen Giovanna I of Naples was assassinated and where S. Gerardo Maiella, patron of the Basilicata, was born.
The National Archaeological Museum of North-Western Basilicata is located in Muro Lucano.
