Rocchetta Sant'Antonio

Overview

The village of Rocchetta Sant'Antonio rises in a borderland, the last town in Puglia that touches Basilicata and Campania. History and legend are intertwined in this ancient village, whose heart is the 16th-century castle, unique for its shape, reminiscent of the prow of a ship. The castle, built to be an effective bulwark against enemy attacks thanks to its ingenious defence systems, juts out towards the old centre, which welcomes visitors' steps with its narrow stone-paved streets and its historical architecture, such as the Chiesa Matrice, which houses valuable artistic treasures. From the centre, then, paths and narrow streets lead out of the village, towards archaeological remains and rupestrian churches, where one can still breathe in a timeless, enchanted atmosphere.
