THE LAST BATTLE OF SPARTACUS

Near Contursi Terme, the waters of the river Sele assume sulphureus characteristics, giving the possibility of enjoying regenerating and healing thermal baths present in the town.
 Anyway Sele is a river already known since ancient times as “magical”, whose waters are able to transform all is floating inside in stone (as reported among others, by the famous philosopher Aristotele).
In the Sele Valley also, in 71 Before Christ, there was the last battle of Spartacus, the famous slave reminded in the history because he “dared to challenge the Roman Empire“, which precisely in these mountains met his death with his followers.
Suggestive are the towns that arise in this area, including Oliveto for sure worth of a visit, with its imposing castle (now a museum of history of Lucania and high-average Sele).
