Lake Frontedusio is a perfect oasis for those who love nature and outdoor activities, with camping areas and the possibility of practicing release fishing. It is populated by various animal species, such as butterflies and colorful dragonflies.

It is certainly the most important inhabited center of the Upper Bradano Valley from which you can enjoy excellent views of the surrounding hills given its raised position at 587 m a.s.l.

A suggestive village of about 5,000 inhabitants perched on a rocky spur, an ancient Roman settlement and the main center of the Alta Valle del Bradano. From the town it is possible to enjoy an excellent view of the Upper Bradano Valley and the surrounding hills. In its surroundings there are valuable architectural monuments, such as the Cavallina Fountain, dating back to the 1st century BC, and the remains of the castle of Monteserico.
