Venosa — Anfiteatro Romano & Parco Archeologico

Basilicata

Venosa, birthplace of the poet Horace, preserves a Roman amphitheatre, baths and a later Jewish catacomb complex scattered across open parkland, alongside the unfinished Incompiuta church built partly from salvaged Roman stone. Grassy paths connect the sites, an easy, open walk through layered history.
