Genzano di Lucania — Castello Svevo
Basilicata
Genzano di Lucania's castle, part of the network of fortifications built or expanded under the Hohenstaufen emperors, stands on the open plateau between two river valleys, giving easy, level walking distinct from the steeper Lucanian hill towns further south. The flat farmland around it stretches toward the Puglia border.
