Discovering the roots of an ancient population

“History Is a Possession for All Time”.

Go through the doors of time. Your presence will bring to life the memory of a distant past, whose traces will be summoned on the slopes of this hill before your eyes.

A path of surprising installations, on the Baragiano hill, in the heart of Basilicata, to rediscover past times of aristocratic women and warriors armed like Greek heroes, across history, archaeology and mythology, through a labyrinth of knowledge.
The Archeoparco of Basileus welcomes its visitors to talk about Baragiano and the origins of an unnamed population. This land was a privileged meeting point for people of different races and cultures, between the mid-7th and early 5th centuries BC, as evidenced by the excavation campaigns.

The Basileus Archaeopark: history, nature and archaeology

At the time of the Basileis

In a fascinating and evocative setting, crossing centuries of history of the archaic Basilicata, you will discover an era of warrior princes, true Basileis (kings) who flaunted, in life and in death, the prestige of their position, in the same ways as the heroes celebrated in the Homeric poems.

The fascinating story
of an unnamed population

You will pass through the “door of space-time” and suddenly your journey will begin in an era distant from yours, more than 2,500 years. The story of a young aristocratic lady, the Lady of scented oils, will guide you, following her memory, along a path dotted with scenic elements, towards the knowledge of an ancient community whose traces have been, for centuries, kept in the heart of this land.
