Historic Centre of Lauria

What to see

• The houses clinging to the hill, the lanes and alleys that climb up, forming arches and porticoes.
• The wrought-iron railings and gates, the stone portals, carved coats of arms, decorated cornices and noble palazzi.
• The Cafaro quarter, the oldest in the town, with the walls and towers of the Ruggero Castle.
• The churches: the mother church of San Nicola, the church of San Giacomo, the church of the Immacolata and the sanctuary of the Madonna dell’Armo.

How to get there

The town is in the Pollino National Park and at the foot of the Sirino massif; the centre is visited on foot, along steps and slopes.

Useful information

• Wear comfortable shoes, because the streets are steep.
• Nearby: Lake Laudemio and Monte Sirino.
