Cosenza

The landscape around Cosenza is formed by the valleys of the Crati and Busento rivers beneath the Sila uplands, which have shaped both the city’s layout and its local economy. The historic core climbs the hill above their confluence, a dense quarter of lanes and stone buildings watched over by the Norman-Swabian Castle. Below, the 12th-century Cosenza Cathedral anchors Piazza Duomo and preserves the city’s medieval civic focus. Corso Mazzini leads through the newer centre and doubles as the MAB, an open-air contemporary-art museum with works displayed along the street. Cosenza brings Calabria’s mountain country and long-settled river plain into close proximity. Continue through nearby webcams to explore different parts of Calabria.
