ESCURSIONE Policoro/Craco

“GHOST TOWN …full of life” Visit to the National Museum of Siritide in Policoro, followed by a tour of Craco, whose origins date back to the 8th century BC. Once a fief of Atendolo Sforza of Cotignola, the village is currently uninhabited due to a landslide that, in the 1970s, forced residents to relocate to the hamlet of Craco-Peschiera. The tour includes an external visit of the Ghost Town, from which you can admire the stunning landscape of the Calanchi. Since 2009, Craco has experienced a remarkable transformation: once abandoned, plundered, and neglected, it has regained new life thanks to the enhancement of local services (MEC – Emotional Museum of Craco / Art and Cinema Atelier / “Gian Maria Volontè” Culture and Cinema Palace). Today, Craco has gained national and international recognition as an exceptional location for cinema, advertising, and fashion.
