Calabria

Calabria stretches from the Tyrrhenian coast to the Ionian shore, encompassing the rugged southern Apennines and long Mediterranean beaches. At Italy’s southern tip, the region is separated from Sicily by the Strait of Messina, while the wooded Sila plateau and Aspromonte massif give its interior a markedly different character from the coast. Ancient Greek colonies once flourished here, and the Riace Bronzes—two celebrated fifth-century BC Greek statues—are displayed at the National Archaeological Museum of Reggio Calabria. Bergamot cultivation around Reggio Calabria and spicy ’nduja from Spilinga are enduring local signatures. Discover other points of interest through webcams located across Calabria.
