Muro Lucano — Gravina e Castello
Basilicata
Muro Lucano's houses cling to both sides of a sheer limestone gorge cut by the Rivo di Ischia, with the ruined castle where a Norman queen was once imprisoned balanced right on the cliff edge. Paths along the ravine rim give a vertigo-inducing view straight down between the two halves of town.
