The historic center of Brienza finds its natural fulcrum in the Caracciolo castle, characterized by the winding model. Starting from the manor, a myriad of houses and cottages emerge clinging to the steep rock. The ancient fortress, of Angevin origin, as can be seen from the cylindrical keep, which stands out from its imposing size, and from the circular semi-tower right in the center of the walls, is one of the jewels of Brienza. Of the Caracciolo castle, an open-air stone staircase is immediately evident, which leads to an embankment terrace right in front of the main entrance. According to an ancient tradition, the castle of Brienza consists of 365 rooms, one for each day of the year. The evening lighting gives the Caracciolo di Brienza castle an enchanting atmosphere that does not leave those who observe the fortress indifferent. In summer the fortress is transformed into a unique location, with a magical atmosphere.

Interesting afternoon of good humor and mystery... where will the noblewoman Bianca's treasure be? Legend has it that Bianca kept her treasure hidden in one of the rooms of the castle, the 366th. Her secret was jealously guarded by the faithful maid who still today tries to watch over the noblewoman's treasure.... The walk along the ruins of the old city disposes the mind and soul to a rare peace up to the deconsecrated church of San Martino where for a moment, aided by a decisive gust of wind, we were the "protagonists" of a scene from the famous film " When the wife goes on vacation" with a very nice Marilyn Monroe Lucana .. It's worth going just for the landscape and for Marilyn Lucana .. the guide, Cataldina, was very nice and helpful. Time passed quickly and we were also able to taste some delicious wild blackberries. Greetings to the ProLoco of Brienza which manages guided tours.

Historic castle in picturesque Brienza, in the heart of Basilicata. Thanks to the reconstruction and renovation of the crumbling ruins, it is now a must-see cultural place steeped in history. At the foot of the castle are the ruins of ancient Brienza where Mario Pagano was born and grew up. The renovation work is still in progress, but guided tours with trained staff take place regularly.
