TropeaTropeaCliff-top old town, white beaches below, red onion fame, Stromboli on the horizonTropea stands on a sandstone cliff with its beaches shining below like a lower town of water and light. Palazzi crowd the edge, Stromboli smokes on the evening horizon, and the sweet red onion carries the town's name worldwide.Pianifica la visita
ScillaScilla e ChianaleaHomer's sea monster rock, Ruffo castle on the cliff, fishermen's houses in the water, swordfish boatsScilla is Homer's monster turned fishing town, its Ruffo castle on the rock where Scylla snatched sailors. Below, Chianalea's houses stand with their feet in the strait, and the swordfish boats still hunt with mast-top lookouts.
Camigliatello SilanoParco Nazionale della SilaGiant pine forests, high plateau lakes, Giganti della Sila reserve, snow in the deep southThe Sila plateau surprises the deep south with alpine lakes, snowfields and the centuries-old giant pines of the Fallistro reserve. Camigliatello is its small capital, mushrooms and caciocavallo in every window.
StiloGemma nascostaCattolica di StiloFive-domed Byzantine chapel, ninth-century brickwork, hillside above Stilo, frescoed interior fragmentsFive brick domes cluster on a hillside terrace above Stilo, Byzantium's most perfect survival in Italy. The tiny cross-in-square chapel holds fragmentary frescoes and columns reused upside down, antiquity humbled to service.
Isola di Capo RizzutoLe CastellaAragonese castle on an islet, Capo Rizzuto marine reserve, Brancaleone film locationA causeway barely wider than a footpath links the village to its Aragonese castle, planted on an islet the Ionian has been circling for five centuries. The surrounding water belongs to the Capo Rizzuto marine reserve, one of the largest in Italy.
Reggio CalabriaMuseo Archeologico Nazionale di Reggio CalabriaTwo Greek warrior bronzes, fifth-century BC originals, climate-controlled hall, sea-floor discovery of 1972A snorkeler off Riace spotted an arm in the sand in 1972, and Italy raised two Greek warriors no copy had prepared anyone for. The National Museum of Reggio gives the bronzes their own sealed hall, entered after an acclimatization room.
AltomonteGemma nascostaGrotta del RomitoA prehistoric limestone cave in the Lao Valley of Pollino National Park near Papasidero with Upper Paleolithic engravings of aurochs and an on-site archaeological-park museum open to visitors.
CatanzaroGemma nascostaScolaciumAn archaeological park near Borgia preserving the Greek-then-Roman colony of Scolacium with theatre and amphitheatre remains and an on-site museum.
CosenzaDuomo di CosenzaConsecrated before Frederick II in 1222, Isabella of Aragon's tomb, Gothic-Cistercian lines, old town spineCosenza's cathedral was consecrated in 1222 with Frederick II in attendance, and its sober Cistercian Gothic survived every remodeling fashion. Isabella of Aragon's tomb keeps a French queen in Calabria's oldest urban heart.
GeraceCattedrale di GeraceCalabria's largest Romanesque church, ancient column forest, Norman consecration of 1045, eagle-nest townNorman Gerace built Calabria's greatest church from the columns of Locri's ruined temples, a forest of reused antiquity in the crypt and nave. The town around it perches on its crag, unchanged enough to film the Middle Ages.
Reggio CalabriaGemma nascostaSinagoga di Bova MarinaA 4th-century CE synagogue unearthed in 1983 at Bova Marina, described as the second-oldest discovered in Italy, now an archaeological park to which a local rabbi conducts tours.
CrotoneGemma nascostaCastello di Santa SeverinaAn 11th-century Norman castle built atop a Byzantine fortress in the hilltop town of Santa Severina, currently visitable and housing an archaeological museum and a Calabrian-castles documentation center.
StiloGemma nascostaMonastero di San Giovanni TheristisAn 11th-century Orthodox monastery near Bivongi marking the transition between Byzantine and Norman styles, once among the most important Basilian monasteries in southern Italy.
PizzoCastello MuratJoachim Murat's execution site, Aragonese keep, cell and courtyard museum, tartufo town above the seaNapoleon's flamboyant brother-in-law Joachim Murat was court-martialed and shot in this small Aragonese castle in 1815, directing the firing squad himself. His cell and the sentence room remain, a few steps from Pizzo's gelato-famous piazza.
PizzoChiesetta di PiedigrottaChurch carved into sea tuff, shipwreck vow origin, generations of carved saints, cave nave by the beachShipwrecked sailors carved a chapel into Pizzo's soft tuff in gratitude, and local families kept carving for two centuries. The result is a cave church populated by stone saints, lit by openings to the beach.
TropeaSantuario di Santa Maria dell'IsolaSanctuary on a sea rock, Benedictine centuries, garden terrace, Tyrrhenian iconOn its own rock between Tropea's two beaches, the sanctuary of Santa Maria has drawn monks and pilgrims since Byzantine times. The garden behind the church looks straight down into water the color of bottle glass.
