Acerenza — La Cattedrale nel Cielo Belvedere
Basilicata
Acerenza sits alone on a narrow ridge with almost sheer drops on three sides, its Romanesque cathedral giving the town its nickname. A walk around the old walls gives an uninterrupted 360° view over the surrounding wheat-and-pasture hill country of the Basilicata interior.
