Agropoli

The municipality of Agropoli lies on a promontory, almost close to the Cilento hills, up to the sea. The promontory on which it stands also owes its name, deriving from Acropolis, which means, precisely, "upper town".

The Caves of Pertosa

The Pertosa Caves are a complex of karst cavities of tourist importance, located in the municipality of Pertosa. The karst complex develops in the basement of the neighboring municipalities of Auletta and Polla, at 263m s.l.m., along the left bank of the Tanagro river. For about seven years the Pertosa-Auletta caves have hosted a show called " Dante's Inferno in the Caves ". There are no papier-mâché backdrops and backdrops, but a prehistoric scenario that counts 35 million years. A play of lights and sounds and a series of video installations of contemporary art enrich the show that winds for about a kilometer and involves over 30 actors and dancers, characterized by a succession of large cavities. It is the spectators who move within the scene and meet the characters.
