The Grotto of St. Cyriacus is the place where the saint prayed. A mystical and relaxing place where the sound of flowing water is amplified by the walls carved by the Corvino River, a natural spectacle.

Accessible via stairs

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 .

Unfortunately, unfortunately, for the second time the tour is in the fog, although the sun is shining in the valley

We did the hike today and it was beautiful... However, in my opinion it was not a hike for beginners because it was very steep up and down in parts. In the hut there are camp beds for 10 people and a grill and an oven. Pots and pans are also available. There is electricity and running water.
