The origins of Craco date from the VIII century B.C. It is mentioned by the name of ‘Graculum’ in official documents of 1188. In the XV century, it was a feud belonging to Attendolo Sforza di Cotignola.

Interesting is the ‘Borgo antico’, the old centre, which at present time is uninhabited, due to a landslide which forced the inhabitants to move to the towns of Craco-Peschiera and Craco-Sant’Angelo in the 1970s.

Spectacular ravines (‘calanchi’) can be admired near the town. There are also a lot of springs of mineral water.

The area is mostly agricultural and cereals and olives are the most widespread crops.
