Interesting history related to the Stauffer dynasty and medieval Italian history.
It is ă good reserved vast le, enough to spend half a day . The museum is interactive and fun.
My favourite castle
You have to buy 2 separate entrance tickets which is not made clear at the ticket office
Outside impessive walls. Inside only 2 rooms are open for visitors.
Paid to enter, but not that much to see inside. Not really worth the ticket.

Beautiful little village in the province of Potenza, we were there on the occasion of the strazzata festival. We parked the camper right near the town center thanks to the help of a lady from the local tourist office who was very kind. The castle, a Norman stronghold, is usually closed, opens only for some events and still retains its original structure. On the occasion of the festival it was open and we witnessed a falconry show. We spent two peaceful and fun days, definitely worth repeating!!
