Sant'Arcangelo

Sant'Arcangelo stands above the Agri valley in Basilicata, among hills of olives and vines. Nearby, on the hill of Orsoleo, a Franciscan convent overlooks the routes between the Agri and Sinni valleys. The complex was rebuilt in 1474 around an older church and entrusted to the Observant Franciscans. Its church and cloister became a place of prayer and study for the surrounding region, joining the hill town to a wider network of religious houses.
