  Montereale Park runs on a hill of the same name

  Montereale Park extends on a hill of the same name, southwest of the historic center. Still at the end of the 19th century, Montereale was an open rural area connected to the city in two ways, and the area was used to carry out brigades, for military and agricultural purposes. In the pine forest the monument to the fall was moved by the sculptor Lucan Giuseppe Galbati and opened by King Vittorio Emmanuel III on August 30, 1925. The park was created in 1934, then the area opened its present appearance during the second half of the twentieth century, shortly before 1940, The construction of the bridge connecting Portasalza finally agreed to merge the hill with the city. For the sake of resting the scene, the huge parades that can be admired there, and the cultural manifestations that take place there - have become the Sunday destination favored by the people of Potenza. In the pine forest, large spaces were paved with benches, fountains, cast iron beds and toys for children. The park was restored in the 1990s and now belongs to the municipality of Potenza and has been included in the General Inventory of the "Historical Basilicata Gardens Census". Montereale, as it is commonly called a park, is a beautiful garden, decorated with pine, cedar and lemon trees, equipped with sports facilities: it includes a beautiful swimming pool, bowling green, a ballroom and a well-equipped gymnasium for sports, although the latter is waiting for restructuring after it got Municipal administration on the property of CONI in 2017.
