The Grancia National Park is the first Historical, Rural and Environmental Park in Italy. It is located in the heart of the Lucanian Dolomites, precisely near the town of Brindisi Montagna, a historic village in Basilicata.
 
The history of the Grancia

La Grancia was an ancient abbey dedicated to Santa Maria dell’Acqua Calda, dedicated to a spring of thermal water used by local mothers until the middle of the last century. It was initially managed by the Basilians and then by the Carthusians of Padula.
