Explore Buccino and Volcei

Buccino is an important archaeological destination close to the Sele Valley. The modern and medieval town overlaps the ancient settlement, so ruins, streets and later buildings form a single urban landscape.

The urban archaeological park

Walls, Roman shops, the forum, mosaics and sacred areas are distributed through the historic centre rather than enclosed within one separate excavation site.

National Archaeological Museum

The museum, housed in the former Augustinian convent, explains the long history of Volcei and displays material recovered from the surrounding territory.

Castle and old town

The castle remains and historic streets complete the visit. Buccino is outside the Sele Valley proper, but its archaeological and landscape value makes it a natural addition to a trip through the area.
