With its 819 m above sea level, Potenza has been the capital of Basilicata for over two centuries and is the highest in Italy.

The historic center comprises old and new buildings that overlap the squares, the alleys of the ancient medieval core, and the stairs of the past. For this conformation, Potenza is also known as the "vertical city."

The ancient and modern coexist, making the village elegant and welcoming simultaneously. Here life flows between via Pretoria, located on a hill, and the more modern area that extends around the flat area marked by the course of the Basento river.

Potenza is a city with a high historical and cultural profile. There is no shortage of historic churches, museums and art galleries, noble palaces, and ancient medieval doors.

The Teatro Stabile dominates the central Piazza Mario Pagano, and you can also admire the so-called Torre Guevara in the historic center, with what remains of the old castle.

During May, there are preparations for the celebrations in honor of its patron saint, San Gerardo Vescovo from Piacenza. This event creates a magical atmosphere in the city.

Potenza is suitable for those who go in search of peaceful worldliness.
