Santa Severina

Santa Severina has served as an episcopal centre in Calabria since the early Middle Ages. The town rises on a rocky spur above the Neto valley, in the inland hills between the Ionian coast and the Sila massif. Its compact historic core is dominated by the castle traditionally associated with Robert Guiscard, a Norman fortress later altered under Aragonese rule. Nearby stands the Byzantine Baptistery, generally dated to the 9th century and notable for its circular plan and dome. Narrow streets and stone houses give this hill town a distinctly layered southern Italian character.
