Castelmezzano and the Flight of the Angel

On request half day hours 08:00 - 14:00

Castelmezzano stands at an elevation of 900 meters, in the heart of the Gallipoli-Cognato Piccole Dolomiti Lucane Park, included for many years among the "Most Beautiful Villages in Italy." The guided tour lasts 2 hours, and the group is welcomed with an introduction on the geographical, social, and historical characteristics of the village, made before the splendid scenery that can be admired from Piazza Emilio Caizzo, a natural balcony, which opens onto a village arranged like an amphitheater. The tour continues with a visit to the Mother Church, Santa Maria dell'Olmo dating back to 1544. Signs of the Templar order will gradually be the subject of the guided tour, from the municipal coat of arms to the toponymy of the streets. The visit continues through the very characteristic alleys to the remains of the Norman Fortress, where you can admire the steps carved into the rock that led to a Norman lookout point, from which the view of the Gulf of Taranto is possible. Above the Lucanian Dolomites, in the heart of Basilicata, suspended between the peaks of the two villages Castelmezzano - Pietrapertosa, allows you to make and experience the Flight of the Angel. It is an attractor, a new concept, an adventure in contact with nature and a unique landscape, discovering the true soul of the territory. Safely tied by a special harness and hooked by a steel cable, visitors can experience the thrill of flight and let themselves slip into a fantastic adventure, unique in Italy, but also in the world for the beauty of the landscape.
