Acerenza — the "città cattedrale"
Basilicata
Acerenza's great Romanesque-Gothic cathedral of San Canio, one of the finest in the south, rises above a compact stone town on an isolated ridge. Belvedere terraces ring the walls with a sweeping view of wheat fields, badlands and, on clear days, the Pollino.
