National Park of Aspromonte
Aspromonte! A beautiful cultural and human nature experience
The Aspromonte territory includes the southern stretch of the Apennine chain and its soil is of crystalline granite. The Aspromonte forms a huge pyramid that rises on the lake and reaches a height of 2000 meters. The park includes numerous peaks and plateaus formed by marine sedimentation. Many watercourses (Fiumare) flow in the area and many animal species can also be found here (wolf, peregrine falcon, eagle owl, hawk). Wide and lush forests cover the protected area: beech, silver fir, black pine, holm oak, chestnut tree and the Mediterranean maquis. Rare plant and animal species also live in the park: e.g. the Bonelli's eagle and the fern Woodwardia radicans. The protected area is located in the heart of the Mediterranean Sea and in its territory you can find important historical, artistic and archaeological sites and testimonies of Archaic, Classical, Greek and Medieval cultures. Visiting Aspromonte is an unforgettable experience from a natural, cultural and human point of view. Come soon!
