Lucanian Dolomites, Mountain range in Basilicata, Italy
The Dolomiti Lucane consists of sharp peaks reaching 1455 meters in elevation within the Regional Park of Gallipoli Cognato in southern Italy.
The geological formation of these mountains began 15 million years ago through tectonic movements that shaped the current limestone peaks and valleys.
The medieval towns of Castelmezzano and Pietrapertosa, built directly into the mountain rock, maintain traditional festivals throughout the calendar year.
Multiple hiking trails connect the five municipalities of Accettura, Albano di Lucania, Campomaggiore, Castelmezzano, and Pietrapertosa within the protected area.
The mountain range earned its name due to its geological resemblance to the northeastern Italian Dolomites, despite being located in a different region.
