I visit Potenza, the capital city of the Basilicata region, which rises along an Apennine ridge north of the Lucan Dolomites and which is crossed by the Basento river, on a still warm day at the end of summer.
Thanks to its physical geography, the territory of Potenza is rich in snowy mountains during the winter season, while in summer the lush nature offers enchanting views of a unique beauty, but not alone, this is a welcoming and hospitable place in every season, when visitors can enjoy different moments of pleasure.
Walking through the streets that make up the historic center I am fascinated by the medieval atmospheres and acting as queen, is the
Archaeological Site found in the Gallitello area of the city.
Also beautiful are the
Basilica of San Gerardo dedicated to the homonymous patron saint of the city, the church of St. Francis of 1274 with its bell tower of 400 and the famous < Strong>Guevara Tower.
Unforgettable was the walk along Viale Pretoria with the numerous cafes and pastry shops that follow one another along the avenue giving me a welcome opportunity to relax at one of the cozy coffee tables. outdoors sipping a great coffee and tasting one of their confectionery specialties.
