Oppido Lucano.
It has mediaeval origins and keeps its original outlook
in its old centre, where the ruins of the Castle,
known in the Middle Ages as ‘Magnum Castrum’,
can be found. Of its old structure only the main portal
remains, with the coat of arms of the Orsini.
In the Baroque Parish Church of the Santi Pietro
e Paolo (XVII century) are a painting representing
the ‘Ultima Cena’, of the XVII century,
and some wooden sculptures.
Sant’Antonio’s Convent and its Church
are of the XV century. Inside it, there is a Renaissance
polyptych, a triptych on wood, a wooden choir of the
XVII century and several canvases of the XVII century.
Not far from the village there is the Sanctuary of
Santa Maria del Belvedere; in its Church there is
a wooden statue representing the ‘Madonna col
Bambino’, of the XIV century.
In the area called ‘Sant’Antuono’,
in a cave connected to the ruins of a church, there
are some frescos and some decorations of the XV century.
