카울로니아‬에서 가장 멋진 ‪5‬개의 동굴

Very nice view, worth it! Unfortunately, the hiking trail has been completely neglected. Fences and even lighting were once put up - but everything is broken and demolished, the path is often overgrown and not marked. The ruins at the top are now in a much better condition than the hiking trail there. It's a shame, a lot of potential is being wasted here.

Beautiful historic town if it happens it is worth a visit

Historic building, worth a visit

The Castle of San Fili, also known as the casino of San Fili, is located in Stignano, Calabria. Built at the beginning of the 18th century by the Lamberti family, the baroque work, designed by Vincenzo Lamberti, reflects elements of military architecture. The building, with a triangular layout and towers at the corners, was originally built for representation and observation of the surrounding area, especially towards the sea. Today, it is under the protection of the Ministry of Cultural Heritage.

Grotteria, a small Calabrian jewel, was born around a temple dedicated to the goddess Minerva, known as Eruma Atenaies between the 8th and 9th centuries BC. It became Crypta-Aurea under the emperor Hadrian due to the gold reserves in the area, and underwent Locrian, Byzantine, Norman and Swabian domination. Marked by earthquakes, it has a rich architectural history, from churches to noble palaces, such as Palazzo Lupis.

From the castle you have a beautiful view, both towards Stilo and towards Bivongi. The ascent to the castle is quite sweaty in warm weather 😅.

After the final tear that precedes the medieval castle of Placanica, we are a bit disappointed. The castle is closed and under renovation. However, if you are lucky, you can meet a kind gentleman who lives in the house adjacent to the medieval fortress who is happy to welcome you to show you the garden that once belonged to the castle and which, after careful restoration work, is now part of his home. . From here you can see the most beautiful facade of the castle and a breathtaking view, which sweeps from the hills to the sea.

More a tower than a castle ... The structure pointing towards the sea is interesting
