Latronico (Potenza)

Badlands (Calanchi) of Latronico

The badlands (badlands) lie to the east and north-east of the historic centre of Latronico: a fan of sharp clay ridges, shaped by erosion and gully wash, that protect the village like natural barriers. They are one of the most spectacular viewpoints.
