The Church of San Francesco di Paola in Altomonte is an important pilgrimage site in Calabria, especially for those following in the footsteps of St. Francis of Paola. It is part of a wider pilgrimage context that includes various locations linked to the life of the saint.

One of the main pilgrimage routes is the Cammino di San Francesco di Paola, a long-distance route of 247 km, divided into 12 stages.

This route passes through places linked to the life of the saint in Calabria, including Altomonte. Pilgrims can walk through various stages, such as "La Via dei Monasteri", which connects the monasteries founded by St. Francis in the region.

The Cammino offers spiritual support, including the possibility of obtaining a Testimonium after completing the route, which is a confirmation of having made the pilgrimage.

Francis of Paola (1416–1507) was an Italian monk and mystic, founder of the Order of Minims. He came from the town of Paola in Calabria, hence his nickname "of Paola". He was known for his austere life, humility and the numerous miracles attributed to him.

In 1519 he was canonized by Pope Leo X, and his cult is particularly strong in southern Italy, especially in Calabria, where he is still venerated as the patron saint of the region and protector of the faithful.
