Potenza, a city of ancient origins, is the highest capital of an Italian region with its 819 meters of altitude; it rises along an Apennine ridge on the north of the Lucan Dolomites.
It boasts pre-Roman origins and its history is enclosed in the ancient city heart that still retains the remains of the medieval entrance walls and gates. The squares, the cathedral and the numerous churches, the noble palaces, the libraries, the ruins of an imperial Roman villa, the Guevara tower and the archaeological museums gather testimonies of people and cultures that have lived here over the centuries.
The entrance door to the capital of Basilicata is the Ponte Musmeci, which in 2003 was declared a monument of cultural interest by the Ministry of Cultural Heritage and is now preparing to become a World Heritage Site.
