The lush hill on the top of which rises Oliveto Citra is fully carpeted with olive groves, what gives the city its name. The hill is dominated by the impressive profile of a baronial castle, Castello Guerritore, that boasts breathtaking views over the whole Oliveto Citra.
The castle was badly damaged by the earthquake of 1980, and many parts of it have recently been remodelled and restored. In 2004, after its total renovation, Lucano dell’Alta Valle del Sele Archaeological Museum was inaugurated in its rooms. It cherishes almost fifty sepulchral dresses from all over the surrounding area.
