Miglionico

In 1485 the barons of the Kingdom of Naples met in Miglionico's castle to plot against King Ferdinand I, which is why the fortress is known as the Castello del Malconsiglio, the castle of bad counsel. The town sits on a hill between the Bradano and Basento rivers in the province of Matera, and legend credits its founding to the wrestler Milo of Croton.
