OUT TOWN POLICORO

2008-09-26T11:22:00.000-07:00

Policoro, a little town of Basilicata, a region situated in the south of Italy. Basilicata is a land of natural beauty, a very mountainous region with a small coast line on both the Tyrrhenian and Ionian seas. The presence of both these seas in Basilicata makes our region a fascinating and beautiful land, an excellent place for tourists to sunbathe on the wonderful sandy beaches. Policoro has got a population of about 16000 people. In the town there are green areas, gardens and parks where people can relax.
The most famous old building to see is the Baronial Palace. Near the Palace stands the Sanctuary of the Madonna del Ponte, a small rural church. Then there is the National Museum of Siritide, opened in the 60s, where you can see very interesting archaeological findings. The archaeological Park, situated behind the museum, includes the remains of ancient Siris –Heraclea. Near the museum stands the Sanctuary of Demetra and the Archaic Temple dedicated to Dionysus. The Heraclea Archaeological Museum exhibits documents relating to prehistoric, archaic, classic, Hellenistic, roman and medieval life of the town and of the surrounding territory. It is famous all over Italy. Our town is also a seaside resort, it is surrounded by the beautiful nature, crystal clear sea, so tourism plays its part. The coast is equipped with several tourist facilities where to spend summer holidays. Tourists can stay in comfortable hotels, boarding houses, residences, houses to rent and pretty camping sites. The main working activities of the population are : farmers, workers, shopkeepers; the artisan job s are still preserved.
Students attend school in Policoro because there are almost all kinds of schools: kindergartens, primary and secondary schools (Liceo Scientifico, Tecnologico, Linguistico, Istituto professionale, Tecnico etc.. ).
