Beskrivelse
During this 2.5-hour guided tour, you'll discover the capital of Basilicata. Potenza is located at 819 m above sea level and is also known as the city of a hundred stairs or the "vertical city". Its characteristic historic center will certainly amaze you.
Your guide will take you to see numerous churches such as the must-see Cathedral of San Michele Arcangelo. This church was built in Romanesque style and currently houses a number of valuable artworks including paintings, sculptures and wooden carvings, almost all dating back to the 16th century. Then, you'll visit museums such as the National Archaeological Museum "Dinu Ademesteanu", the Provincial Archaeological Museum and the Diocesan Museum. You'll learn about the "Francesco Stabile" Theatre and you'll have the chance to relax while shopping and exploring the sophisticated setting of Piazza Mario Pagano and Piazza Matteotti.
Potenza also holds another record that only a few know, namely the longest "escalator" in Europe. The escalator, which is 1.3 km long and has a capacity of about 18 thousand people per hour, was created to connect the downstream districts with the higher city center.
