Grumentum

The excavated remains of Grumentum spread across a plateau near the Agri River, featuring public buildings, residential areas, and defensive walls spanning three kilometers.

Founded in the third century BC during the Samnite Wars, Grumentum served as a Roman colony and military outpost between Venusia and Heraclea.

The Archaeological Museum displays artifacts from prehistoric times through the Roman era, including marble fragments and a veiled head of Livia Drusilla.

The archaeological park opens Monday afternoons and Tuesday through Sunday from morning until one hour before sunset.

The site contains the sole amphitheater discovered in Lucania, constructed during the first century BC and marking the regional importance of Grumentum.
