Lapedina, hamlet-king of the valley.

Perhaps its geographical location, perched high over the valley, has given rise to the reputation of hamlet residents as a bit different, and proud to be Lapedinacci ... In any case, it is the birth place of the village, after the Vecchjulacce and Cateraghju hamlets were destroyed at the end of the 18th century. Lapedina suprana (upper Lapedina) still sports a few beautiful stone and dried mud houses but also many which lie in ruin.

It's worth the climb to the top of the old village to enjoy the view from the Saint Pancrace chapel, which is in itself worth the visit, as it has been particularly well restored. Lapedina was, up until the end of the 19th century, a prosperous hamlet. In 1878, it comprised a school and 190 inhabitants! Lapedina suttana (lower Lapedina) is less picturesque, however there is a palazzu, a palace or main house which dominates the valley. From Lapedina, enthusiastic walkers can continue along the five kilometers of trail that leads to Cagnano in the north.
