Tourism: Calore Lucano

The [[Amalfi Coast]] — a [[UNESCO World Heritage Site]] since 1997 — is located within the province, attracting tens of thousands of tourists from all around the world every year.
 
One of the features of the rugged country-side is ''[[Gole del Calore di Felitto]]'', an area of [[gorge]]s between [[Felitto]] and [[Magliano Vetere]] formed by the [[Calore lucanoLucano]] river. This area is of great geological interest and is rich in [[flora (plants)|flora]] and [[fauna (animals)|fauna]].
 
One of the many historical buildings in the province is the [[chapter house]] belonging to the [[Certosa di Padula]] (or Carthreuse of Padula or of [[Saint Lawrence|San Lorenzo]] in Padula), a [[Carthusian]] monastery in the town of [[Padula]]. The building has evolved over centuries; the earliest parts were constructed in the early 14th century. A [[mannerism|mannerist]] [[cloister]] leads to the church, and a later 17th-century cloister has loggias supported by [[rustication (architecture)|rusticated]] columns. These features add to the general baroque character of the building.
