It is a unique rock formation in Calabria, a truly magical place where you can immerse yourself in another culture, consisting of caves dug in the sandstone and natural freshwater springs.

The ancient, carved in the rock settlement is located about 20 km from Tropea and looks out on a deep valley and further on the "Gods" out, one of the most beautiful landscapes of Calabria.

The village probably dates from the 6th or 7th century, when the monks of the Basilian Order fled the persecution from the east and settled here on Monte Poro. The settlement comprises a total of one hundred caves, which served either as a habitation or as a granary. The oldest develops on four levels; a wall shows a fish-like incised drawing.

Unfortunately the path can no longer be hiked. It ends abruptly at the caves. 🤷‍♂️

Worth seeing are the dwellings of the so-called Insediamente Rupestre from the 12th to the 14th century, which are reminiscent of the caves of Matera.
