Chiesa di San Michele Arcangelo

The church exhibits a stone facade divided into three sections by four vertical pilasters, with a main portal featuring double jambs and rounded arches.

The original structure dates back to the 5th century, during the time of Bishop Erculenzio and Pope Gelasius I in the region.

The interior contains numerous paintings from the 17th century depicting local saints such as Saint Gerard of Potenza and Saint Francis of Paola.

The church stands near Via Pretoria in the historic center of Potenza, with geographical coordinates at 40°38'16.66"N, 15°48'3.10"E.

A 5th-century mosaic discovered beneath the church floor provides evidence of its ancient origins in the region.
