Policastro is situated on the Gulf of the same a short distance from the mouth of the river Bussento – whose sediments have donated Policastro its splendid beaches.
In ancient times, Italic tribes, followed later on by Greek colonisers were attracted to the area by the presence of a convenient landing place at the mouth of the river, and by the important strategic advantage of being able to advance into the hinterland along the Bussento river valley itself.
The Greek settlement, PIXOUS (BOX wood), appeared in the area in the 4th century B.C. and the ruins of the impressive defensive walls, which once enclosed the town, still bear traces of their Greek and Italic origin.
During the decline of Magna Grecia, when the port was rendered unusable due to silting up and the town uninhabitable by endemic malaria, the importance of the settlement diminished and Pixous passed under the control of the Lucanian peoples of the hinterland.
At the beginning of the 2nd century B.C. the Romans began repopulating the area with settlers and the Roman town of Buxentum was born. The importance and prosperity of Buxentum grew rapidly and in 187 B.C. the settlement was declared a Roman municipality.
The ruins of a Roman aqueduct can still be seen on the outskirts of the town.
