Province of Potenza, Administrative province in Basilicata, Italy.
The province of Potenza extends across 6,594 square kilometers of diverse terrain, from mountain ranges to the Tyrrhenian coastline at Maratea.
The Romans conquered this territory in 272 BC, naming it Lucania, before it became part of the Duchy of Apulia under Norman rule.
Each of the 100 municipalities within the province maintains distinct traditions, from religious festivals to regional specialties like Caciocavallo Podolico cheese.
The province connects to major transportation routes through the RA5 motorway and contains the main railway line linking Salerno to Taranto.
The National Park of Pollino within the province contains the Lucan forest and Monte Sirino massif, creating natural borders with neighboring Calabria.
