Head office of one of the 78 universies in the juriscon of Basilicata, Craco contributed financially to the maintenance costs of the castles already begun by Frederick II and connued by the Angioini. Throughout the course of the sixteenth century, Craco was highly increased in populaon. This is what emerges from family texaon,where the fiscal fires passed from 362 in 1521, from maximum peak of 518 in 1561 with 2590 inhabitants. In the last three years of the French Government (1813-1815), the populaon of Craco stood at 1.760/1.770 inhabitant. The natural increase in those years was always negave because there was a high infant mortality, the majority of the populaon, as menoned earlier, was devoted to agriculture,livestock and its related acvity, but there was also a considerable number of arsans and some professionals (doctors,notaries). The clergies in 1815 numbered to sixteen, while eighteen were the monks in the monastery of St. Peter, built in 1630 by Baroni Penna di Amendolara. In 1881 the populaon had exceeded the threshold of 2,000 inhabitants. Towards the end of the nineteenth century the city limits had reached its maximum expansion. There were several palaces in various parts of the town. The most famous,sll in the memory of our elders, were the building Rigirone,Cammarota,Simone,Grossi,Miadonna,and the palace Carbone. In addion to the noble palaces, of parcu- lar architectural beauty were public buildings like the town hall,schools, cinema and shops. Today everything is slid along the ground. Among the monuments the most important was undoubtedly the monument to the fall in war,erected in 1929 to commemorate the vicms of WWI. Unfortunately, the monument was among the first structures to collapse. Another important building is the monastery dedicated to St. Peter,which was built in 1630, the convent of the Franciscans Observant friars had 18 monks from which recalls the monk Nicholas Onora Columella (1735-1822) who was an expert in agricultural and natural sciences, and was appointed by Joachimo Murat, the first professor of the Faculty of Agronomy at the University Federico II. In 1792 Pope Pius VI donated to the monks for their convent an embalamed body of st.Vincent,a martyr of 300 a.C.

The first written document,was documented about 1060, a bubble of Arnaldo, Bishop of Tricarico to the priest and the community of Craco. However,archaeological research tracing the origine of Human settlements, minds back to the Iron Age (VIII-IX century a.C). The oldest building is the Norman tower (about 1040 a.C), which is visible from the surrounding area like the valley of Salandrella, the Ionian coast, Mount Pollino and all its neighbors.
