The Grota di San Ciarico offers a fantastic experience, even if the climb to Buonvicino is demanding. It is a magical cave, away from everything, which conveys a deep feeling of inner peace.

Buonvicino, a municipality in Calabria, has historical roots that extend back to ancient Greece. The name may derive from the Bombaci family or from the dialect word "bombaci," which means "snail." In the past, local communities dedicated themselves to pastoralism and agriculture. This territory was initially divided into three villages: Salvato, Tripidone and Trigiano. Continuous threats, including barbarian invasions, led to the formation of Buonvicino in the 13th century. Today, the town is famous for the statue of San Ciriaco Abate.

The Madonna della Neve Sanctuary is located at 757 meters and is dedicated to the Virgin of the Snow. This church today is a destination for pilgrims. From here it is possible to enjoy a panorama that includes the Gulf of Policastro, Sicily, the chain of the Apennines.

Ciriaco da Buonvicino, a priest and exorcist, is remembered with a pilgrimage to this cave every year on September 17th as in 2006 of the same year a rock had detached and fell into the city of Buonvicino, without any damage or injuries .
