Lagonegro

The town extends across multiple levels on the western slope of Mount Sirino, featuring narrow streets that wind through ancient stone buildings.

Byzantine monks established Lagonegro between the 9th and 10th centuries, creating a settlement that developed into a strategic communication center.

The Church of San Cataldo contains significant 19th-century frescoes and artworks created by the local Cascini family of artists.

Lagonegro maintains two exits on the A2 motorway connecting to major southern Italian cities, with the southern exit leading directly to the town center.

The town sits at an elevation of 666 meters, surrounded by chestnut and alder forests that change colors throughout the four seasons.
