Calabria's Archaeological Wonders

This collection spans millennia of Calabrian history, from the 7th-century BC Greek colonies of Locri Epizefiri and Kaulonia to the sophisticated Roman mosaics of the Villa Palazzi di Casignana. It includes the remains of Roman theaters, Hellenistic temples, and the Byzantine-Norman ruins of Gerace Castle. Visitors can explore the 11th-century Basilian architecture of Santa Maria di Tridetti and the evocative ruins of Àfrico Vecchio, a mountain village abandoned following mid-20th-century floods.
