A village on a spur and an astronomical observatory

Discover Castelgrande

Castelgrande perches on a south-facing rocky spur in the north-west of the province of Potenza, on the border with Campania. The village dates back to around the year 1000, but the area holds traces of much older settlements.

About 7 kilometres away, on Monte Toppo, stands the Castelgrande Astronomical Observatory, with one of the largest telescopes in Italy, linked to the Capodimonte Observatory. Just outside the village is the small church of the Madonna di Costantinopoli, by a stream. Castelgrande is part of the «Path of Fairy Tales and Stars».
