View from above of Pizzo Calabro and its castle

An excellent starting point for a visit to the historic center of Pizzo Calabro

Briatico's main monument, La Rocchetta, is a watchtower of ancient origins, rebuilt and restored several times throughout history. Its ruined yet unaltered appearance makes it very distinctive.

A very beautiful church.

The castle, used as a museum, where Gioacchino Murat was imprisoned, was built in 1492 by Ferrante d'Aragona. It is a quadrangular structure overlooking the sea on one side and surrounded by a deep moat on the other. Inside there are remains of a sculpture by Antonio Canova (the original was destroyed during the passage of Giuseppe Garibaldi, only a part representing a helmet remained intact). Access to the interior was via a drawbridge between two towers, now replaced by a traditional limestone bridge. The castle is dedicated to Murat, who was shot here on October 13, 1815. Inside the building there are some historical reconstructions and testimonies of these tragic events. Source: https://it.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pizzo_(comune)

In 1973 it was recognized as a parish and dedicated to San Rocco and San Francesco di Paola. With the unification of Italy it was used as a barracks and then as a hospital. The earthquake of 1905 partially destroyed the upper part of the high wall structure of the church, so it was rebuilt in 1907 with the participation of the entire population.
