Sant'Elia Church, Palmi
Highlight • Religious Site
The Church of Sant'Elia is a Catholic place of worship in Palmi. It is located on the top of the mountain of the same name. Inside are the two venerated statues of Sant'Elia and Maria Santissima della Montagna.
In 884, a place of worship with an adjacent monastery of Basilian monks was founded on the top of Mount Salinas by the monk Elias of Enna. The latter, who later became a saint, lived in the monastery for most of his life. St. Filaret also stayed in the same monastery and was buried after his death.
The abbey was rebuilt in the eleventh century by some Basilian monks who dedicated it to Saint Elias the Younger and which also housed the remains of the Sicilian saint. Roger II of Sicily subdued the place of worship in 1134 to the Archimandrite of the Monastery of the Redeemer of Messina.
In 1959 the current church was rebuilt by local workers, and a few years later there was the adaptation of the church to the liturgical reform after the Second Vatican Council, with the insertion of a marble table on the presbytery.
In 1979 the church and the whole city of Palmi passed from the jurisdiction of the Diocese of Miletus to the new one of Oppido Mamertina-Palmi.
In 2015 the church was completely restored internally and externally.

Tracciolino Trail
Highlight (Segment) • Trail
In Calabria on the Tracciolino, the path overlooking the sea
Between the Tyrrhenian Sea and the last mountain areas of the Aspromonte National Park, the Tracciolino Trail crosses one of the most intact and suggestive stretches of the Calabrian coast. The trekking route runs through the colors and intense scents of the Mediterranean maquis and offers a spectacular panorama, to say the least: on the horizon the Aeolian Islands with the profile of Stromboli in the foreground, to the south-west the mighty silhouette of Mount Etna beyond the Strait of Messina and to the north the plain by Gioia Tauro, behind which stands the silhouette of Capo Vaticano.
