Our territory |
|
||||
|
On the south-west of Basilicata, not far from the Tyrrhenian Sea and from Lauria, the massif of Sirino rises. Papa mountain is its highest peak (2005 m). |
|||||
| The Massif of Sirino |
|
The relief has been eroded by an ancient glacier and, nowadays, it is furrowed by several engravings occupied by waterways. On its ridges there are the watersheds of Agri, Calore, Noce and Sinni rivers. Three small lakes, Laudemio, Sirino and the glacial Zapano, lie along its slopes. Sirino territory is divided between 5 neighbouring towns: Lauria, our borough, stretches on the south-east slope; Nemoli, on the south; Rivello, on the south-west; the western slope is occupied by Lagonegro and the northern one by Castelsaraceno. |

The coast of Maratea |
|
Running along the SS 585 highway that skirts the Noce river, you easily get the coast of Maratea: here, the luxuriant Mediterranean bush appears on the transparent sea. | |||
|
The Pollino National Park |
|
Following the A3 Salerno-Reggio Calabria motorway towards South, we easily get, from Lauria, to the Pollino National Park: it is the largest protected area in Europe and its symbol is the Loricato pine. | |||
