Castello di Monteserico, Medieval castle in Genzano di Lucania, Italy.
The stone fortress stands on a hill in northern Basilicata, featuring traditional military architecture with thick walls and defensive towers.
In 1041, the castle witnessed a decisive battle between Norman forces and Byzantine troops, leading to Norman control of southern Italy.
The castle grounds contain archaeological findings from the 9th century BC, including pre-Roman necropolis artifacts that reveal early settlement patterns.
Located 10 miles east of Genzano di Lucania, visitors can reach the castle via the Strada Provinciale Marascione connecting to main regional roads.
The castle transformed from a military stronghold to a monastic refuge and later became the residence of silent film star Lyda Borelli after World War I.
